I have been reading some of the old post about extended swingarms. I know there is several different manufactures like tvi , ds works ace fabrications , mr. hp even has one. I am looking for a good +6, im a pretty big boy so i need the chrome moly. Do you guys know what might be the best for me? I want it to look sharp also. Not like i welded it myself. Any help woud be apreciated.

 

Im running an Ace +6 and love it. I got the chrome powder coat finish and love it. My experience with Ace was pleasant. Especially for the price! I have jumped mine and have not had any problems with it...of course I dont weight but 155lbs. LOL! I hope this helps!

 

Not to hijack the thread but do some of these manf. just do the stock lenght or -1" ?? Is their ChroMoly versions stronger than the stockers ?? does anyone have realistic number as to the weight savings ?? Just wondering...

 

I run a +5 ace fab swing and love it. I'm 205lb and bottomed mine out pretty hard before I had a chance to adjust the shock. Holds up fine. I also got the chrome powercoat. Finish and guality are very nice. If you purchase one, before you install it, be sure NO powercoat is inside the mounts, front and rear.

GOOD LUCK Ace Fab is a great company I will buy from them again

 

Same here Ive got a +4 ace and its awesome

 

This may be a stupid question . . but what exactally does an extended swingarm do? What are the differences in the +2,4, 6 etc? I think i remember them being used to stop wheelies?

 

the longer the swingarm the less easy it is to wheelie....

 

I went with a +4 from Ace Fab, unfortunately mine isnt as geat as everyone else. Pivot holes were egg shaped by .008" and the tube the pivot bolt rides in was U-shaped. I wish I would have kept the TVI +4. Doesnt DStroyer or someone on here make arms now? If you go ace, I hope you have better luck than I did.
