Does anyone make a +4 swing arm extension? I wanted to try one before I buy a longer swing arm just in case I want to go longer than +4. I had some porting done and now I can't keep the front end down.

 

Riding mostly dunes with a hill drag here and there.

 

Thanks.

If you only have porting done, and want an extended swinger a +4 will be fine. When you start makin' like 70+ hp then you may want to go longer. I don't think I have ever seen a +4, and I think they only go out to +2 because of liability issues. Most people will not ride with these on their bikes because your arse depends on that vital piece to hold things together......... :beer:

Don't get an extension. They suck a$$. You will be tightening it all the time. Ebay +4 +6 +8 +10 is the guy you want to look for. They are cheap and he makes good stuff and warranties it also. You will need longer rear brake line and a longer chain.

Don't ask me...my Shee doesn't like trails. I just end up spinning my wheels. I guess better tires would help.

 

Can anyone recommend good dirt tires (and size?) I'm finding that SIZE MATTERS!

I have been running a 2" swingarm extension for about 5 years and have had no problems with it. I even bought it second hand so it only cost me $25 instead around $200, which I think is what I have seen them advertised for. If I had to pay full price I would have just got an extended swingarm instead but it was a good deal.

Quicksand will extend your stock for $139.

^^^ Thats the best way to go without buying another swinger. I dont like the extenders. There fine in a strait line and off some jumps, but there not structualy strong enough to handle bad landings like landing on your side or landing crooked. I would just have someone good to do the stock swinger if your only going 2-4 inches
