Bike looks great. This is a upgrade that I am wanting to do that length is perfect. Let us know more about the ups vs downs. Did you have to do upgrade rear shock?

Haven't really got to get out and about on it because of work but the handling doesn't seem as bad as everyone makes them out to be...I got it out on the highway and it handled almost like stock only real difference to me is the front seems a little more heavier other than that it feels like stock! The power feels the same turning feels almost the same so...

7.25 is about it for the chain I think this was a good length anything else and it would be hurting her lol

Bike looks sick. How much research did you do before you decided on the Thompson swingarm?

I researched quite a bit of arms I called Thompson and spoke to them About there's called roaring toyz spoke to them about there's also...few people on here also recommended them as well so that was my choice

It looks really good, to be honest the stretch should come factory like that. It looks so much better than stock, the stock length looks like someone kick it and made the tire tuck...lol! Good job!

I got a 6" Thompson arm on my Gen1 and it didn't affect the handling too much. I can still drop a knee in turns but I just have to adjust my approach slightly.

I've been running a Thompson arm since 03 3-9" set at around 7-8. Love it
