How Long Do I Extend My Swing Arm???

[njeffery]

I'm extending my swing arm, how long do you all think I should go???
I'm bored with a pipe and jetted, but it will have more! I want to be able to go up tree shots and hills with out the front coming up. Right now it's hard to keep it down.

2 inch. I voted 3 because it was closest to 2, you want some thing to jump ocasionally and you don't it wheeling out every few seconds after you decide to gun it, go with either a 3-2 inch any bigger its not fun anymore...

I know nothing about swing arm extension but I can tell you wheelies are fun and when you wheelie you have a lot of traction.

I did 2 and 5-8th's and it's perfect.

None of mine have swing arms, but if I was going to build an extended swing arm, I would buy an extra swing arm and extend that one. That way if I didn't like it, I'd still have the stock one to put back on.

[Yamahondaman]

Agreed ,, ALWAYS have or GIT a spare just incase you do diff. stuff .. and like fabio said ... 3.375 or 3.625 for the PERFECT chain adjustment :beer

If you will be running In the sand/drag racing, hill climbing only, I would go +5. If you want the bike to still turn good, then +2.

Yeah I'm extending the arm from my parts bike. I was thinking maybe 4 3/4" for the chain to work out.

I guess it all depends on what type riding you want to do. I have a 5 inch arm on my tecate, but I only intend on drag racing and some dune riding.

[njeffery]

Well I took the swinger to work and cut it. Still not sure how long I'll go.

[factoryX]

[ATC-Eric]

I voted + 4, nice and sexy.


Do you still not have a front fender? Ive got one if your interested.

[njeffery]

factoryX, I do ride trails in the sand.

ATC-Eric, is your fender black? and how much you want for it?

[ATC-Eric]

[njeffery]
