I know Ace Fabrication advertises +8 but you might want to give them a call!!

You should have seen scooby at snake hunt....He could not keep his front end down for nothing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] It hard to imagine a 650cc motor having TOOO much power for a +8 swing arm, but thats what it looks like is goin on. Scooby I woud suggest the +10 or +12 aswell. I guess that is a problem we all wish we had[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]





bigger.

Yeah, I would have to agree...keeping the front end down is definitely a good problem to have, LOL. Scooby definitely had that problem for sure! That thing is a beast! I cant wait until the next time I see it run!

ace welding built my busa and +12" arm 530-274-8965 gab made mine out of alum. i was jumping and landed crooked and tore the welds apart. i don't think there is an +12" alum arm made that will handle that. he will also do it in chrome moly but i doubt that you will will be jumping (i'm am idiot) as much[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

I might be off base here but what about having the suspension valved to soak up that load transfered to the rear and still handle any obstacle within reason. I know having mine soft as it will go makes it almost impossible to wheelie ware as if its set up for jumping I cant keep it down no mater how far ahead I lean. just a thought
scooby you going to silver lake Mi this year?
