I'm currently lowered just because I wanted to try it. I'm considering going back to stock and will probably have a kickstand and soupys adjustable links for sale. Let me know if interested. You'll still need to purchase the triple tree lowering block or the spacers which are cheaper. Not sure why my previous post came out a mess.

How much for the stand? I'm wanting a full arm no links.

what's your asking price?
The links I'm talking about are lowering links, not extensions. I'll check how much this stuff is going for and send you a PM with prices. It might take me a few days as I'll be headed to the oral surgeon to get wisdom teeth pulled this morning.

Cool and good luck.

A little more than I wanted to spend and more than others that I've priced. I do understand that yours has the under bracing and bottle ring. Thanks for reaching out though.

Cheaper isn't the way to go when you're going 150 mph, plus the wait is crazy when you order arms, better rethink.

Look at evil swingarms ... ask privatejeff he has one on his bike .. I paid less than $800 for my arm .. that is what I have on my current busa ... the picture U saw had a velocity 4-6 over arm on it.
The bike in the picture was lowered .75 in the front and about 3 in the back from what I can remember.
Btw ... I am 6'5 and weight ranges between 240 and 250

The thing to look at with any Gen 2 aftermarket swingarm is the way the particular manufacturer "anchors" the rear brake caliper. On a stock Gen 2 arm, there is a channel inside the right inner swingarm spar that the rear caliper fits into, preventing from rotating EITHER way, front or back. This is the correct and preferred method. Most aftermarket swingarm manufacturers don't do this, they have you bolt a triangular "stop" on the caliper that hits the top of the arm and prevents it from rotating forward when you apply the brake. Rolling the bike backwards with this setup can cause the caliper to rotate backward, off the arm . . . when you apply the brake the next time, it the stop slams into the top of the arm, putting marks in the powdercoat. McIntosh does it this way, C&S does it this way, Trac Dynamics does not - they do it the right way, just like stock. That is why we prefer the Trac arms on Gen 2s. This situation does not apply to Gen 1s. Of course, you can always modify an arm, add a tab and put your own brake arm on, hanging the caliper under the arm, but why should you do that? If you are going to pay well over a thousand for an arm, get one that is done right. I don't know how Evil does it, maybe someone can chime in on that, but do your homework!

Exotic cycle makes a slide in brake hanger to solve the issue. I use it on my Mac arm. Of course, then you're spending that much more.
tj, please post a pic of that if you get a chance . . .

i really liked my velocity arm on the bike above... i tried to buy a macintosh arm .. they would either not answer the phone or call me back. and we are set up as a dealer for them so i would have got it at dealer cost .. so i decided to go with an evil arm. couple local guys have them and look like a very nice are .. so i tried it. good quality and quality built peice of work.
they even sent me a christmas card...

Hi Frank,
I tried to post a pic last week. I gave up after about half an hour, lol. I think it's a mobile phone ap thing.
Hey, it worked! The only pic I have is from a wheelie bar post pic (hence the measuring tape). I think the piece was around $160-170. One drawback to the piece is that you can't fully shorten the wheelbase. You can only get as short as about 2" over when the caliper hanger is used.
