Shady - I'm Running a Stage 2 cam and, 11:5:1 Compression piston (i was gonna go 12:5:1 untill i hear about what they can do to starters).

I'm kinda thinking of going with the JTM 4in Ext. It is not to bad on price and, i'd like to see what +4in will do. I like to jump as much as possible (light MX) and, am not a hard core Dragger. Just like to line up on the strip once in a while and, wax some azz then go back on the dunes!

Anyone who has one or knows about them please let me know!

Some new paddles replacing those Geckos can help out lots also.

Until I get a Ext Swingarm I was hoping that the Gecko's will spin enough to keep me off my back. More Power just cost you more $ once you get it!!! LOL

Last year I saw a guy that had a 4in Square piece welded into his swingarm as an Extension, it looked stock it was done so nicely! He said it held up great to a year of beatings! I wonder if anyone can do that for me? Then I can save a few $ for other BS i need now.

No, with the extra power and wheel rotation the Geckos will just spin more and more.

Congrats there Captbags, welcome to the wonderful (addictive, expensive) world of Raptor motor building. Glad to hear you got yours squared away, I'll bet you had a pretty high sphincter factor for a couple of weeks:-)

You're gonna lose 3-4 bike lengths with those geckos. Get some haulers and be happier. Just sit up on the tank for now when you take off. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Capt, I've been using the JTM extension for over a year now with zero problems. It's definately the better way to go(over welding in an extension) if your budget is limited.

Also, glad you're happy with end result.
