extened swing arm

[<..(black thunder)..&gt;]

Hi gang!! been a while since my last post but I have to get your opinion on some thing.

I'm not a drag racer and I don't scrape any parts in the turns
( but I do like to go thru them fast)
mainly I'm just a... "poser"!!!

I do a lot of long distance rides on the higway, (350 miles one way) to bike rallys.

if I stretch the busa 4 to 6 inchs, I'm I going to get a lot of wheel spin? could this be dangerous in the rain? I want the look but still want to be able to control the bike.

should I do it or not

You asked, so here's my www.warrenbrown.com images missing

No.

i dont think its a good idea,if you arent drag racing,a +6 arm will spin like crazy on dry pavement,and forget about the twistys

Extended arms are for drag racers and POSERS, if you care about twisties....then I say don't do it

ha! ha! I did say I was a poser didn't I,

I like the twisties ( I think I just like them more in my imagination) I am not as low as I think I am in other words.

what would 4 1/2 inchs be like?

should I worry about spining or braking lose in a curve?

What if I'm both? Should I have a double extension?

My bike is 4" over and have no problem riding Deals gap with it. Anything over that and you get wheel spin due to the weight being too far forward of the wheel.

Its all in what you want/like

 

[Mr Brown]

It alters the way the bike handles, makes it not as willing to turn. It will still turn, you just got to plan a little earlier....

 

[Mr Brown]

Have you considered an adjustable arm? A 0-6 and adjustable lowering links is a pretty easy setup to put back to stock for a track day or whatever. just my .02

so.... NO wheel spin at 4 over, sounds good to me!

I would say that depends on how much you weigh, and what kinda tire you use.

I really just want the look of it streched,
If it didn't spin out of control on the street/turns then I would leave it at one setting... maybe 5 over?

I'll be running the stock rear tire.
I avarge 180/190 pounds.

 

[Mr Brown]

If you are just going for the look, I would try to ride a stretched bike first, see if you dig it. It is different no doubt, but I like it. It won't spin out of control unless you let it. It will however go sideways more willingly that it will go up.

 

[STUNNAH]

Just depends on what you want...If you like the look, go for it...The wheel want spin if you don't twist the throttle...

 

[<..(black thunder)..&gt;]

stunnah: what are you streched at?
your turbo right?

do you do a lot of street riding?

 

[him]

If you want it go for it man and if you dont like it sell it thats what ebays for....hey stunna where can i find a 2 inch cheater arm?

 

[<..(black thunder)..&gt;]

Mr Brown: is your bike streched?
