Make your own Lowering Dogbones - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Hi all,

Just made up some lowering "Dog Bones" for my M-50 and thought this drawing might help some of you. Its for a 2" drop, but I could make up drawings for all other drops quite easily if others would like them. Enjoy.

Great job with the drawing.

Nice. It always helps when you can do stuff yourself. My dad is an engineer and has built all kinds of stuff for his c90 including his own lowering dogbones as well. Good job.

There is a ratio for the drop amount and I was wondering if you figured that ratio out? If you did plug me up center to center for a 4 and 5 inch drop. If the spacing is good between the holes I'll put'em on the same bones.

anyone knows a good place to get the 1/4 inch thick kinda metal to work on?

you can get flat 1/4 inch thick 1 inch wide stock at home depot/lowes/or call a fab shop and see if they have scraps.
