swing arm extensions???

[justa-busa-girl]

hey guys, this winter i think im going to stretch my bike. Im thinking about 2-4 inches. I Dont want to go to crazy with it, just enought to keep the front end down a little better. I dont want spinning issues that come with to long of a strech. My ? is who makes an afordable extensions that are made well ??also i assume ill need a longer brake cable, chain, and ill probally gear it down a little as well. Any sugjestions on the gearing? i was thinking just one down in the rear? I dont want anything to drastic. thanks for any imfo !!!

Allthingschrome.net has swingarm extensions, extended brakeline and chain for $348. That is the most affordable price I have seen.

All things chrome is the way to go, They are awesome. I have the 6-9 on mine. Only problem was the brake cable was WAY too long, i have mine at about 8ish and lots of extra. So I will have to order a new one soon just a tad shorter.

Busa-Girl,
Just remember you can only stretch about 2.5 to 3" in the fully slammed position before you start to hit the tail light. Stetching without lowering all the way is a waste. You may need to keep it to 3" or modify / replace the tail.

I have the Exotic Cycles Swing arm extensions... they are a piece of art comapred to some other extensions I have seen.

iirc mine is stretched around 3inches and it's still not enough...

 

[Draco1340]

I also have the exotic cycles swing arm extensions set at 6" over and with a 6" stretched tail. As you can see, you need to limit the stretch to 3" unless you raise the rear or stretch the tail. With this setup I can get 1.42 to 1.45 60" times depending on track conditions.

Great looking busa brother BUT, 6-9" ??? Thats only 3" of adjustment? usually 4" adjusters is the NORM from what i've seen. I've used Spencer Cycles extions (2-7") on my ZX12R, When they FIRST came out, and they LOOKED, FIT, and WORKED AWESOME I would and do recommend these to any one that wants a great set of extions, And there's 5" to play wit!.......When i bought mine i think they where 270.00.....which is a GREAT PRICE IMHO(check em out when you get a chance)

 

[justa-busa-girl]

thanks for the great imfo guys!! im not totally lowered all the way im only 2 inches in the rear, i still do some street riding with the bike so i havent slammed it all the way. So do you think a 4 inch stretch would work with it only lowered 2 inches as far as not hitting the tail??

 

[Pinky Winky]

Look up Gixx1300r and talk to him I paid 450 for the exts and chain. Best quality ive seen. Im 6 1/2" out and a 2 1/2" front and 4" rear drop.

Mine are better.. I also offer a cool ass add on for Spool mounts too. I run mine at 63" in the second hole of lowering links. Im 300# and have no problems..Bike runs 8.90's(with 200# rider) and 60' 1.45 no problem.. will do better with better gearing.

Does anyone make a good set that is just solid black with no etching ,symbols, etc. ?

 

[CDiPrecision]

mmmaaaayyybbbeeee...

 

[endlessperformance]

I'd definitely recommend the Exoticycle ones or Roaring Toyz; I won't trust any other brands with something as important as my rear wheel/axle....

 

[Kainedogg]

I like Roaring Toyz as well. Not to mention that the kit comes standard with a stainless steel brake line. 4-8 inches.
