Default My Opinion Of JTM Extensions

They are GREAT! The install went very smoothly and kept the front end down great when lauching. When I would launch with the nitrous on it would sometimes lift the front wheels about a foot off the ground, but that was it. Also, I could just pop the clutch in second and lean back and ride a wheelie like normal. By the way, my Raptor was throwing the biggest roost by far of all the four strokes, and a lot of the 2 smokes. I will try and have some pics up soon.

My Raptor with the JTM has survived 15ft jumps so far and is still holding up. Actually I blew my motor on my 2002 and now have the JTM on the 2004 model. It is a very strong piece of equipment that money can buy. I dont think any extended swingarm would hold up to that!!

Any one have some close up shots? How much was it? and, where did you get it from?

What size chain do you need for it?

I have the JTM extension. I don't jump all the time or race mx professionally, but I do jump lot and haven't had a problem yet. I think the actual extension will outlast the stock swing arm do to the fact that the swing arm wasn't made to handle the extra stress. But so far so good.

The only thing I noticed different is it definately handles different on a track, you can really feel the longer lenght of the bike. That is mostly in the whoops section I notice it though.
