Trac is a good arm.I was thinkn about doin a stretch this winter- wanted to go 6" over with a Trac Dynamics arm- whats the good word on Trac, NJ?
I'm running the ones from Exoticycle. From what I've heard they were one of the originators of extensions. The are great quality, aren't hollowed out, and cost a little more than most. Here's mine at 6" over.
So far I really like the ride and look. Haven't really had any problems with it, and my chicken strips less than an inch now.

I was the originator of Bolt on Swingarm extensions. I have been making them since 1993. No one,and I repeat. No one makes a stronger bolt on swingarm extensions than I do.I'm running the ones from Exoticycle. From what I've heard they were one of the originators of extensions. The are great quality, aren't hollowed out, and cost a little more than most. Here's mine at 6" over.

Yours appear to be very similar in shape to the ones I have. One thing I really like about the brand I have is the adjuster plate is designed so you don't need that really long adjustment bolt. You can just flip the plate around for shorter extensions. (than what I did). Mine also bolt from the inside through one plate instead of two. Another really nice feature of the Exoticycle.com extensions is that you don't need an extended rear brake bar, in fact you don't even need a brake bar!!
What ever a customer decides, they need to be sure they are getting a quality product.

Exoticycle makes a very nice Extension but here how mine differs. I can make adjuster plates for my extensions are you can use the stock one. Also my adjuster bolt is made of Stainless steel and it is over sized (see pics). the bottom bolt is the stock adjuster bolt.
Most Extensions bolt directly into the aluminum and are held in with a Thin steel plate. If you torque it down too much you can strip the threads. Mine are held in with Stainless steel well nuts that I designed (and I do have a Patent). They spin and lock against each other. They can be torqued down to well over 100lbs. If you just happen to strip one of them just get another Stainless Steel Wellnut.

Your product definetly looks nice. I agree there are some out there bolting into the thin alumium backing plate which is not good. There aer some that also aren't solid aluminum too!
The Exotic pieces are reversed as you can see (no bolts from outside) from my last pic, and the bolts do thread into the aluminum, however, since the bolts are from the inside, they are going into the thickest part of the extension through a very thick backing plate.
Exotic, as you probably too, has never had a failure and has been run on some serious horse power bikes.
This is good info. I don't know which I would have picked either Exotic's or yours, but you weren't around, or at least I couldn't find how to contact you or your business when I was looking for my extensions.
