2008+ OEM dog bone/links length

I CANNOT for the life of me find what the length of the OEM 08+ dog bones/links is. I have searched everywhere. I feel like my bike sits very low in the rear, and it looks like the current dog bones are aftermarket seeing as there are three holes for adjustable height. Im trying to see if OEM dogbones will solve my problem of wanting to raise the rear end. I just need to know the length so i can compare them to my current ones.


I grabbed a link from ebay of what looks like to be the same links i have on... dont know if they are stock or aftermarket.

and here are the only other ones I could find that look like they are stock... then again im not sure if they are because the post doesnt say...

^ I think Roland is pretty spot on, from what I remember it was either 165 or 164mm

You can always make your own and go a hair shorter if you want to raise it up more with out dropping the front.

Thanks I appreciate it. I was really trying to avoid finding a random ninja around me and taking a ruler or tape measure to the bottom of it lol.

^ if you do decide to order from there it seems most people get their orders just not exactly in a timely manner so just read the reviews and be forewarned.

Okay so I think I've come up with a solution. The lowering links on it now have dropped it about an inch lower than stock height. I think I'm gonna buy the +1inch raising links from that site and it should raise me two inches from where I am at currently.
