Anyone extended stock steel swingarm?

[groundshock]

Just curious.

I'd like while the bike is apart to try and stretch it back 2-3 inches. Would like to keep stock wheels.

Anyone done this, and if so, can I get some pics?

It would be easy if you can weld, but why?

My exact thought - Why???

I presume he's trying to keep the front end down. If I'm not mistaken, there would be an effect on cornering also - not necessarily to your advantage :-D

You might also run into clearance issues with the rear fender. At the least it would look odd on a stock machine.

This is not a stock swingarm but an aftermarket. What bike is it for?

Why not?

Why not?

Because chains are expensive. :-D

Do it yourself. Just cut it between the shock mount and the axle holes (favor the shock mounts). And then stop by your local steel supplier and see what you can find to fill the gap.

But then again, maybe you should stop by the steel supplier BEFORE you cut. wouldn't want to end up with a 2 piece arm and nothing to fill it with.
