Bike was lowered an inch in December and I just got it stretched last week. I opted for the Roaring Toyz extensions vs a full swing arm for cost reasons and in case I want to go back to stock at some point.
I also went two teeth up on the rear sprocket. Work was done at my local Suzuki dealer.
The new sprocket makes the bike feel lighter off the line but it revs higher at freeway speeds. The OEM sprocket made freeway speeds more effortless. I lost some top end but how often are we riding 186 MPH?
I didn’t measure the stretch, just eyeballed it with the tech to make it look even and balance out the front with the rear. I probably went about 5 inches.
The bike looks amazingly better in my opinion.
The handling has been affected though. It takes a bit more effort to break it out of a straight line. It used to fall into a turn a lot easier.
I just have to get used to it but these are my impressions so far for anyone contemplating doing this.
