extended swingarm

[hula Buell]

Can you get 5 qts of oil in that thing?

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??

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

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

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??

 

[xtremelow]

The swing arm is 2" longer. You would need the Ss shock and need to slip your front frorks 1" to maintain the same ride angle on the bike otherwise a custom bracket in the back could be made if you didn't want to lower it any and you could utilize the stock shock.

 

[AV8guy]

would that be up or down? when you did it did it change your handling noticably? I read a lot of your posts about that and your rear tire also and Im pretty sure you said everything felt about the same right? How are you feeling by the way?

 

[xtremelow]

You slip them down spit is like a 1" drop if you use a Ss shock, if you build a bracket though you could get away without neededing to slip the forks at all. Handling IMo stayed close to the same it feels a little softer but that is because mine is slipped 2" and the front fender slaps the engine mount otherwise I would feel a thing. As far as the 200 mm tire I did t notice any difference on the street.

Overall it is a bolt on mod depending on how you do it. But it will give you a much more agressive look IMO.

If you hold out a few days I might have my setup for sale!

I am thinking about going to a CR then modiying that so I would be parting out my XB. I still have to see what the insurance says yet but it is looking like a very likely option.

 

[AV8guy]

cool. I really like the CR's too. When i get back home, I think i am going to try to put the pods on my bike. But yeah, let me know about parting your bike out. Thanks man

 

[symonsays]

Heres an Ss swing arm on an 05 12R. Stock ride height.

Xtremelow: What happened?!

 

[kubinb]

i got a 6.5 inch stretch for my 99 x1 does anyone know the conversion kit i would need to use for a chain and sproket set up. i know the chain can but cut down but i dont know the offset for the front sprocket

 

[05xb12r]

Who knows someone that can build me a custom extended swing arm? I want one bad!!! Pm if someone knows of one. Or if anyone is seller there's I'll be more than happy to buy it off of them!!

 

[snrusnak]

Holy hist those are really ugly. I will say this, at least the one guy did a really good job and split the chain up in two sections instead of stretching a chain 3 ft, having it dragging on the asphalt like I usually see on these other bikes...

I'm also interested in a 6 to 8 inch extended swing arm for a 12r. I plan on bracket racing
