extended swingarm

[tuneport67ss]

Good catch I see it now. I could tell the forks were shorter, I just wasnt sure how.

whats the fattest tire can the stock wheel handle??

 

[Stevenc150]

190's. If I remember right, the 200's push the clearance limit too close. Here's a thread on 190's: Mounted 190 Rear tire

 

[xtremelow]

I beg to differ!.

I have a 200mm and it fits just fine. Search the forum and you will find my post but here is a shot of the rear clearance with the belt guard off.

Xtremelow, does the 200 fit on a stock wheel without looking like a donut?

 

[ADAMLEE]

Hows the 200 for handling?

 

[Stevenc150]

Search the forum and you will find my post....

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Here's Xtremelow's thread: 200 Back Tire Review

Anyway......

Hopefully when all is said and done my insurance will fix my bike and I will be able to build what I call the XB9Drag.

I'm all amped up about getting this done but my damn insurance is giving me the run around on fixing my trans so things may or may not have to wait, hopefully the later.

Looks bad ass Xtreme!!! With the front end so low, in my opinion, I think it would look bad ass if you raised the rear sub frame up.... If you are into that look. Not sure how it would do performance wise for "drag".

 

[xtremelow]

With the stretch my biggest gains would be in my 60ft which is where I lack due to the short wheel base and height of the bike so I figure if I tweak each I may gain a little there.

Also this is my beat attempt at a photoshop of a photoshop. The bike won't really sit that low and the tail may or may not be a S or modded R tail.

How could I go about extending my swingarm 2 to 3 inches, Nothing crazy. And at the same time getting a slightly wider tire, again like an inch or two.

 

[xtremelow]

Like this. Lightning Ss swing arm and a 200mm tire. Also did a tail swap from a firebolt to the Scg to make it look even longer.

toxic nice work

 

[screamineagle]

how hard is it to swap out a firebolt rear end for a scg to get a little more tire to stick out. anyone have pics of that?

 

[xtremelow]

Search the DIY threads and you will find all kinds of pics. I have it done with a Ss swing arm to give it an even longer look and the swap was about a 6 out of 10 since you need to make a custom shock bracket and get some custom oil lines, but as far as the tail swap it is straight bolt on and very simple.

 

[hula Buell]

Can you get 5 qts of oil in that thing?

 

[firebolts]

This Buell with the same kit I feel does looks much better. It appears to be lowered in the front also, although I am not sure how.

Wondering if anyone knows who made the back rim wider??

 

[firebolts]

The Picture of the red XB12R is insane! stock rims are sick! any info on this Firebolt. Who made the back rim wider?
thanks

 

[Vedmed]

Firebolt and so very good, why spoil it? All the same, to drag it will not do. Very weak engine.

 

[AV8guy]

I was wondering how much longer the Ss swingarm is than the S. I have an 07S and like the look of xtremes bolt with the conversion. just need to know what all I would need for the swingarm conversion. Other than the swingarm and a new belt??
