whats the best thing to do to get my bike sitting higher .. if i play with the rear shock abit would that lift it up any? or would i have to buy a highering kit?? cheers
I think by playing with the shocker it will make the suspension harder/softer.
Buy (or more commonly make) some shorter dog bones with a steel of the same thickness, i cant remember how big the holes are that you have to drill but if you have a search you'll find out. I think it's about 14mm but not 100% sure so double check!
By using shorter dog bones it will raise the back end by a few inches. By looking it wont look much higher, but when you're sitting on it and you can barely touch the floor either side you know it's alot higher lol

They're basically the 2 peices of metal that connect from the shocker to the swinging arm, they're also called the suspension linkage if you take your's off and make a template on a piece of metal and make them slightly shorter it will raise the back end of the bike up. If you want your bike lower down then obviously make them longer
I had them on a field bike DT-R once and whilst they lifted the back end nicely you cant raise the front to match so are a bit of a waste of time, maybe if you also stiffened the forks so they didnt sag quite so much it might be better.
Also worth noting that you will be affecting the steering geometry of the bike, in effect making the bike turn in quicker possibly a lot quicker...
