Prior to adding the extra boost to the flash switch :D:D
I have been told it is advisable to get myself some swing arm extension.

So who's in the know about these things ?:D I'm thinking I wold prefer the bolt option so I dont have the bike of the road again & can change things in the future easy if I want to.

Impart me with your knowledge guys
:D

i have a set of roaring toyz 2-6" extensions on my build at the moment - nice bit of kit - came with the rear caliper hanger so did away with the torque arm for it

depending on where you buy from can pickup from $270-$299 + postage from yankee land - good time to buy at the moment with the exchange rate

that does look easy... so easy that it would probably be an awesome thing if you wanted to have a weekend of drag racing and then change back to normal riding geometry for a ride through twisties the next weekend... what an awesome idea.

i have 2 to 6 inch adjustable yana shikis on my blade. i have two different length chains so i can go back to +2 for twistys and back to +6 for racing/posing without taking the wheel off

They look trick Watto.

I got the plain black ones, 4-6 adjustment, need to get a chain & brake line now.

When I went for a look at Roaring Toys,found a side stand I liked, tried to order it and they don't send to Australia,Brad at Bikecraft is their dealer, so I shot him off an email if anyone wants anything from them :D

Large you have me wanting a whole swingarm now!;):D

After talking to Booster I'm not sure I should have got those ones[B)], but a whole new arm is on the list of wants.
How much longer should I get the brake line?
