think it will mess up your ride by increasing /decreasing the rising rate ratio bollocks..
so it will be really soft or really hard and the shock is specced for the othe rlinkage so pretty sure it wont work

I keep lookin on there pal managed to replace my under tray for 12 pounds ,bought a tuono wheel of there the red one looks mint on back of the bike with rest of the red decals etc also new forks as mine were stone chipped badly!! Back tyre burnt through huggerand into undertray when linkage went!! Everyone i see on ebay are the 106mm type that i dont want!!cheers
without looking at my bike mate i cant tell you exactly but fitting a different dog bone with those varying dimensions will raise or lower the back of your ride a ridiculous amount. If it was still rideable, it would, as mentioned above, alter the suspension ratio but i honestly dont think it will go. i made some replacement ones for a zxr i used to have, to jack back end up a touch, made them from steel and they worked a treat, even though they weighed a ton ! and i only changed the length by a small amount
