Swing arm extenders...
Thinking about getting this but i havnt seen anyone w/ one. Is it as good as buying the whole swing arm.
I REALY want to slam and stretch my next bike (gixx 1k) But i dont want it to be perminent...
Had anyone used / heard about these? Also if im going to do a 9" stretch what size chain will i need and anyone got pics of a 6"-9" stretch?

I have seen them used on some high powerd bikes with out any problems. You really should not need more than 6", when you go longer than that it looks like a wheel chasing a motorcycle. This bike should be less than 60"

4 to 6" is all you should need. I have seen 1 set of these come apart on a Busa and know of another set failing on a Turbo Busa (caused major damage).
They are fine on stock bikes as long as you get good ones. Watch out for the generic cheap ones though.

They are good and sturdy with a stock/ semi stock bike. But once you get into the 175+hp range, they have a hard time taking a good launch. Dont get me wrong though. You can ride around all day with a set of extensions on a Turbo bike and be fine, but one really good hard launch at the drag strip could just tear them apart.

Don't forget that you may need a new rear brake hose also. Are doing this for the look or so that you can drag race it? If it is to race I would slam it first, that will make it much more ridable, and you may not need to stretch it.

I like stock wheelbase personally... easier to handle overall.
However, I longer wheelbase does add value when the intent is to lower times when racing.
