You have to lift the back of the bike without preloading the swing arm. If you have aftermarket rear sets you can lift the back of the bike using the swing arm lift then use car jack stands under the foot pegs to hold up the bike. I have heard of people flipping the foot pegs upside down to use the jack stand method. You can lift the back up using the rafters and ratcheting straps too. You may need to remove the tail fairings and hook to a solid part of the sub frame.
Changing the dogbones is easy. Take it apart and put it back together.
OK Thanks, here goes, I'm gonna use the jack stands under the foot pegs.
So basically my idea is to put the jack under the swing arm and keep it up whilst I remove the bolts, then I could let the swingarm come down a bit for the new one. Lets see how this goes!
I recall doing mine on the kickstand. I didn't even use a jack or rear stand. Just unbolted. Lifted the frame with my guns and had my wife insert the new dogbone.

Nope, sitting here reading through the forums this seems harder than the front forks, I just don't want to bolt it in the wrong spots, not sure where to do this, UGH!
