Gen II Swingarm Extensions

[piratediverjefff]

Thinking about some extensions(don't have the $ at the moment for another McINTOSH arm)and wondering if anybody knows anything about this company,products,etc.?Look like quality extensions and i like the fact that they appear to be plain instead of names plastered all over the sides like Roaring Toyz,Exotic Cycle,etc.Any feedback welcome.

Thanks,
Jeff

I have these made for us and can supply all the accessories to make a complete kit...they look good on bike..no brake bar piece needed uses stock hanger on 2008-2012.

I can do plain or lettered

Are these the ones from FTD Customs? 'cause I just put a set on my 06 and LOUOUOUVE them!!! clean machine work, and best looking set I could find!! And incredible fit. was worried about being loose in the frame and actually had to scrape a bit of the powder coating off to get it seated all the way. can unbolt and would have to hammer it off the frame thanks Mike!!!

A good product is as strong as a made swingarm if installed correctly and maintained. I know of a 99 busa that has had a set on it since early 2000. He has made 1000's of 1/4 mile, 100's of landspeed passes and bike has over 125k miles on it with same extensions and never one issue.. It's not always the quality of the tool, but the quality of the person using it...Everything on the internet is not true...

i picked up a set from exoticycle. so far no complaints. used locktite and paint marker on the bolts so i could see if they ever started to back out.

Goldenchild- could you send me the specs on doing a complete kit, 6" extension for my 2012 in black. It's actually the same bike you posted in your pictures in this thread. Thanks. (Sorry fellas, app won't let me pm for some reason.)

I understand. just how I feel. seems sketchy to me. nothing I ive seen on the net.. just dont like that idea of more parts.. I like the stretched swingarm less things to go wrong.. If they work for your Friend right on.. just not for me.. each is there own.

There arent many extension that can handle 80lbs bolted to the bottom of the swingarm during top end runs at Bonneville.

I guess that $750 arm mod Frank posted up is out of the question

stay away from ebay crap

 

[Ron223]

Is there any swing arm kits any of you would recommend for a 6" stretch in black? Or recommend staying away from?
