extended swingarm?rear shock

[x-man]

this may be a domb question but if i get a extended swingarm will i have to get a bigger rear shock i knowthat i would have to get a bigger chane but what about the shock or is it just going to sit lower

 

[Awk08]

no new shock required.
adding length to the swinger will soften the stock stiff azz shock
it should sit near the same height if you buy an aftermarket swingarm, only extended stockers would raise the rear height as most of them didn't move the shock mount......and eventually broke !

o ok so wait are the sock mounts not that good on the extended swingarm

you'll be fine with an aftermarket swingarm, even a swingarm shop swinger from ebay.
it was extended stock swingarms that proved time and time again to fail.

You may be able to find a 2" bolt on extension. Don't know if they are still made, might find one used.
There is a lot of force on a swingarm. Member on here "Blaner" made a swingarm from scratch. I would have bet a $100 it was a solid design. And it broke.

Anyway cut and hacking a stock swingarm is not a viable option.

Damn that one was cracked in like three different spots okay so if I feel that badly that I wanted gotta swingarm I should save up and do it the right way ok
