I am wanting to go extended on my bike, but have some questions.

I don't have a lot of money, so I think I will go with the JTM 4.5 extension. How do you guys that have one like them? Also, are the rear bearings still sealed and is it a pain to adjust the chain?

How long of a chain are you guys running? Can you run stock brake line or will I need to get a stainless one? Will I still be able to wheelie with just pipe and filter?

Also, what do I do with the parking brake? Do I have to take it off? I have heard some weird stories about doing this.

Thanks alot for any information you guys can give me.

14mins had one or two extras but that was a while ago. Here's what he had to say:
What do you think?? They retail for 269 plus shipping. I happen to be the owner of a few new ones. I would like to sell one or 2. I am going to run one. They take a 106 link chain. I have a few of them also. I like the idea that it is not to hard to take it off. I can run it in the sand and take it off for dirt drags.

 

Anybody else have an opinion of these?

 

I got to ride Ernie's Raptor last weekend, he has the 4.5 extension on it. I really liked the extra length. The chain adjustment looks to be about the same as stock. You probably need a p-brake block off, but they are real cheap too. It looks like a very well built product too, nice and sturdy. It might add a little weight though. IMO it boils down to do you want to spend $600 on a swingarm or $300 on the extension.
