anyone who has stretched there hayabusa please post side,rear and other random angles of the finished job. cant decide if i want to go 2,3,4,5, or 6". no offense, but not into the rear tire 25 feet out behind the tail. just a mild stretch that improves looks and launches. can care less about draggin a knee,etc if i wanted to drag a "mladin knee", i would be on one of his GSX-R 1000's! so especially if u r not stretched please dont waste precious post space on this thread... thanx.
not an #######, just H8 them!

I guess you had it up in the air before you had it stretched!! The bike looks tight! I was just thinking about going 2-4" on mine but I was afraid that when you are stretch that would limit your class of racers!

Hit me back!!
 
i should have a camera today,a co worker,he is a harly guy and all around good egg,is getting it for me,i am no photographer and dont have the slightest idea on how to post a picture,but i will try,i am 1.75 inch over,(macintosh)stock rear fender,with the stock gearing (17-40) that is on there now,it is at the back of the adjustment slots,but could pass for stock w/b if you didnt know what you were looking at,it is at stock ride height now,but i have 1,2 and 3 inch lowering links,also have +1 links,but never tried them with this arm

Yes sir...Air time was pre arm...Length doesn't matter unless your a serious racer...Most of the time it's either straight up or bracket...If your looking for a sleeper stretch then consider a cheater length arm 2"...With a cheater you can't tell just by looking...First glance and everybody thinks it's stock length...
 
Here's a few pics of the bike with the swingarm installed.
Hopefully, she will be back on the road soon.

4" over will look about as close to stock as you can get and still have excellent effect on keeping the front wheel down.

also fits in the stock tail without dragging when lowered.

+4 wiil hit the fender,i am only 1.75 over,it just barely hit the rib on the backside of the fender,it is about 2.5 inches up from the bottom,i am not sure if it hit with 17-42 and lowererd 1 inch,or the more recently tried 17-40 at stock height,i suspect the latter,i just noticed it yesterday
