I've always thought mine sat a bit high and wondered whether these might have been changed at some point? TIA

"The original dog bones are 170mm from end to end and 140mm between the hole centres".

Ah, ok. Thanks Martin, looks like mine are standard ones then, that's exactly what they measure.

My assumption was based on the fact that, when the side stand is down, the bike seems to lean waaaaay too far over, so I added a block to the underside of it and it sits just right now.

Non-standard longer shock perhaps ?

It's a possibility I suppose. Next time I go out to the garage and blow the dust off it I might try and find out....................
