I have always thought about a mono-shock for these things, coupled with a more modern inverted fork for the front. Sure would be killer - haven't really seem but a handfull of attemps.
I say go for it. Most of the extended swingarms for these are tubular or box section and therefore much more rigid and handle much better. It might get more expensive than you want though because you will probably want different shocks and possibly even have to modify the fender if you go too long.
I have a tubular 3" extended swingarm with shocks that are 15" eye to eye and I barely get away with the stock fender. Posts: 29, You have to decide how you ride MOST of the time.. If you are mostly on the highway and not seeking out the twisties daily, you will like it.. I am running 6 over but it is a bit long also lowered about 4 inches.. Iam thinking of shortening mine an inch, so I can run link chain with big sprockets.
I extended the stock arm by adding to the front, easy and cheap, but I run bushings and no shocks.. Canada My next bike will be a.. Green, had it for 3 decades!! Lost quite a few CB 's along the way.
Well, I wouldn't have to worry about the fender as I am doing the Cafe thing and the fender is going away anyway. The tire is about two inches smalled diameter than stock roughly so that takes away an inch from the length of the arm. Twisties are my preferred riding areas, so I'll have to take that into consideration. Stretching a sportbike lowers its stance, which can be further lowered by additional suspension modifications.
A lowered stance improves traction, meaning less power is wasted and more power is available to push the bike forward. Extended swing arms — the main part of the rear suspension, holding the rear axle — help prevent the bike from going into wheelie position on takeoff, which can happen unintentionally. While some riders like to modify their own bikes, some experts say is best for an experienced shop to do the work, because there's a lot of room for errors.
For example, picture the tubes — known as forks — at the front of the bike that hold the front wheel. It's possible to swap those out for longer forks, which will achieve the look some riders are going for. But for racing, it's not a good idea. It affects the rake or angle of the bike's steering axis, which needs to be optimized for racing.
This can change the way the engine and transmission interact with the rest of the bike, possibly making the bike dangerous and inefficient.
Also what kind of tire do you have? Changing to a a slimmer profile most s I can think of are flatter will help you turn in easier even with a stretch. If you do sell the arm, you can upgrade the brakes, get your forks done, etc. Whether you extend or 12 inches, any extension affects numerous aspects of suspension and the bikes ability to perform well.
When you extend the swingarm you aren't just extending the wheelbase. The most important items compromised is traction On both ends and stability especially at lean angles. I disagree with you on extending the swingarm makes the bike run wide.
Extending the swingarm actually raises the rear which shortens the trail making the bike tend to turn tighter. Flattening the swingarm out is the culprit that makes the bike run wide. Every one of my own personal bikes that I have extended, I also lowered. I should have clarified that, but thanks for pointing that out. It just goes to show there is a lot going on. The Busa is not exactly a road race bike, so it is very common to stretch and lower it, as a lot have done.
It doesn't ruin the bike at all, and even though I can't hang in with the Gsxr's on tight turns, I can still hold my own with a 6" stretch.
And when the road straightens out, you better get out of my way. You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads B. Extended swing arms and black chrome haybusa parts.
