6 is pretty long, I would probably go 2-4 depends on what all you plan on doing.

4" for every day riding like ya wanna do.
6", tops.
Length has nothing to do with the power.
SBS bikes are 9 1/2" over.

Sleeper what's your position on bolt on's???
Bolt on's are what the mechanic at the shop recommended also...He said that they had become really popular with Busa owners...And they would actually save me a bit of cheddar for additional upgrades...

Well,
They aren't for me, BUT,
LOTS of people use them with success.
I have never heard of a failure with them.
I just like the looks of an extended stock arm.
If you get them, check out Nick at

He is a board member and a great guy.
He builds and sells them, they are the best looking one's I have seen.

O.K. technically responding...You said that to say what???Technically speaking, there would be a slight loss of "available" rear wheel power due to the increased rotational mass of the additional chain links required by a stretched swing arm.
stun, get the extensions. mine r on order. 2-4" adjustable, and you can take the dam thang off if ya dont want it on.
few" xtn is all ya need on a stock-ish bike for drag racing. more than that, you will have the back of the bike going too low, and the further back ya go with the wheel, less traction.

It was neither...Just funning...
It's pretty much a done deal...Just trying to determine when I'm going to drop it off...The shop is 2/3 weeks behind...

"never go over 6 " loss of power is unreal and it is very useless."
This is the statement that I was refering to.
Why 6"?
Why don't you loose "unreal" power at 4" over, or why isn't the majic number 8" over?
The length os a swingarm has NO bearing on the power of the bike!
It's true that there IS lose of power thru the drivetrain, but the length of the chain has an extremely small factor in the final number.
We're only talkin, a few inches here...........
