QUESTION ...

With the bike (1250) on the center stand , with a good rear tyre ,how much space is there between the rear tyre and the ground ?

is your tyre now touching the ground with the new dogbones ?

bout 1/2 to 3/4 inch ish

Won't that depend on the amount of preload at either or both ends?
Or if the folks have been moved through the triple clamps.

Front tyre condition and pressure will alter rear height as well, when on centre stand.

Stop making it complicated ,just measure the bloody space .

Just pointing out there is no standard answer

Plus 1 rear preload front standard. 30,000km. Good PR2's both ends.
18 deg. 85% RH. 1017.7hPa.
Black 1250S 15lt in the tank.
And I have a smidge under an inch clearance

All those good metric units, and then you end up at an inch?

Very true sir ,very true. But in my defence..although I don`t want to admit it..there was an ad on TV that disrupted my concerntration which was for the Miracle Bra,and it had rather voluptuous women jumping and running..well I am a red blooded male,and it distracted my comprehension.

So the definition of 'a smidge' is now 2mm.
A new metric unit.
Soon we will have a definition for 'a bee's dick"
