Looking to do 4” over.
Average ~4K miles a year.
May take to the strip twice a year.
Mostly want a roll racing bike.
HP goals = 220whp
DME or Evil?
What was your choice and why?
@SS4Luck and @Fernando I like the looks of your bikes but I’m not sure what’s better for my application.

Personally I like the DME Aluminum arm. It matches the rest of the frame better. Always found the chrome moly arms look too skinny.

It all depends on what you can spend. Evil are very good and the most used for the street, but if you want a good product already proven on the fastest motorcycles in the US, DME is the best option. It is just my opinion.

i like the look of the dme but the evil arm cost a little less and is usually lighter. are you having wheelie issues during you roll races?
If someone replaces GEN2 swing arm with an aluminium STOCK or OEM size swing arm how much weight can be saved.

Any hit in second gear pulls the front off the ground. First has always pulled the front up.

nothing has been done to the bike suspension wise.
setting up the suspension can mitigate the wheelie issues. just extending the swingarm will compound issues if your adjustments arent rights. you will go from wheelies to spinning tire. lowering and adjusting the comp/rebound makes a noticeable difference in how it launches. you can start getting practice while you wait to you get your swing arm swapped.
