I just recently did a new chain and sprockets. I now want to extend the rear swinger an inch or 2 and was thinking on just adding a couple links to the chain and not doing a whole new chain sprockets (again). Opinions ???
 
If the sprockets and chain are still in really nice shape I'd think adding links should work. The swing arm extension kit I got came with a a couple extra links If you're interested or just want to see if they might work let me know.
 
If theres minimal wear/stretch to chain and sprockets, you should be good, even if you use a whole new chain.
How many times has it been adjusted since its been on ?
 
It hasnt been adjusted at all yet. It could prob use an adjustment now though. I think im going to be ok with a few new links.

you'll be fine as chain stretch is minimal and barely any sprocket wear yet
