I've had custom dog bones made to jack the rear end up on my EFE running gsxr 750 L swingarm, it's lifted the back as far mechanically possible without falling the arm under load. Am still not happy with the height and am looking for another 2-3" of lift. Can anyone advise my next move?
Cheers

Unless you drop the forks a bit , other would be a longer shock ?

Why aren't you happy with the height? What's your aim? Better handling?

form over function = fail
don't mess up the handling because you think it looks better with the ass up high. It looks good as it is IMO.

Don't do further jack-ups then. Better modify the bodywork/ rear frame to reach the stance you want.

Alter the top shock mount to lift the rear end.

Suggested that but she's not keen.
Altering top mount is another option
