    All you need are rudemantry tools e.g a drill (13mm bit I think) and a hacksaw.They don't really have to be a dog bone shape. Thats done to decrease material and therefore weight.
    From memory we got about a 25-30mm reduction in height. Lowering the forks as well.
    The ones on my KX85 where the same as Ktm boy describes made by the previous owner. Worked fine!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
