Default Raptor Bolt on swing arm extension

I have heard that someone makes a 2 inch bolt on swing arm extension for the Raptor. Does anyone know who makes it and where I can get it, if there is such an item. I found a 4.5 extension, but I dont think I want to go that long. Thanks

I have the 4.5 and I think that for duning the 2" is a waste of time. Even with the 4.5 JTM I run the front end will come up on hard starts. I generally feather the clutch to keep it down. If you're woods riding I can see the 2" as the 4.5 does have an effect on your turning radius.

The only bolt on extension for the raptor is the 4.5" made by JTM. It's not possible to make a bolt on extension for the raptor because the bearing carrier has to be moved behind the swingarm, and to successfully clear it, it needs to be 4.5" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Yep - RaptorRcR is right, they dont make a bolt on below 4.5 and never have heard of one. I got the 4.5 on mine and it looks pretty sweet if you ask me. Rides pretty good too!!
