Personally I am not a fan of the look / effects on handling.

But looks like a well done job.
You probably should brace it though as even at the stock length the swing arm is less than rigid.

Are you going to drag race or is it just for looks? Sorry to say it but around here in TN that is not something different, I think more bikes are extended than stock length.

I think it would look a little more interesting with some trellis bracing.

I have some friends in Indy that like to chop bikes up and make crazy stuff. Maybe you can get to gether with them and come up with something truly unique. Let me know if you wanna meet em.

I was just up there for the GP.

I noticed you're selling the swing arm, it didn't work out?

Not that it didnt workout, i rode the entire summer with it, had some time at the strip, just switched it back to stock, because of the wheelies... actually had alot of comments around here about it looking good stretched...wasnt sure if anyone would want it to see how they like it..

Did you notice loads of flex in it without any bracing?

You probably won't. At least I doubt very much on this forum. Or any other hawk\firestorm forum for that matter.
