if you go on ebay look for someone selling some standard ones and ask them to measure them im sure they would be more than happy to help

Projection Components manufacture suspension links (Dogbones), they may be able to help.

Thanks lads, the swing arm is out of the gs500 as with the rest of the rear suspension components ready for painting so I'm going to see if a standard set of bandit dogbones will Jack up or lower my rear.

And tips on re-painting rear shock springs?

1mm alteration in length equals 5mm in height, i cant remember exactly which way round it is but i think if you shorten the dog bones by 1mm it will raise the bike by 5mm and if you lengthen them 1mm it will lower it 5mm

I've sourced some new ones that are a good 5mm shorter than standard, which makes sense because the standard ones on a gs500 are the same length as a bandit 600 and these new ones are to raise a bandit by 25mm I think.
Thanks
