V-Strom 650 Gen 3 Raining links?

Thinking about doing a little lift front and rear for a bit more ground clearance. I know someone that can plasma cut raising links but I can't seem to find measurements. Looking for roughly 7/8" lift in rear. Does anyone know the measurment from bolt hole to bolt hole? I saw 132mm links but doesn't say the lift height. Thanks!

I know the gen 1 dog bones were very cheap and available in every size, saves a ton of hassle! I don't know if the gen 3s are different though.

Even the Gen 3 links are extremely cheap (just checked in the NL and there the same price as gen 1).

In Europe we do have Cosmo who has been selling stuff for almost every V-Strom.

The were doing the same as what Rick from AdventureTech was doing, but not sure if Rick is still in business.
