Has anyone done this before?? The company I work for, Cyclecraft Engineering, and myself, are experimenting with extending the stock swingarms on 01-05 raptors. My Raptor is the test dummy so to speak. When we do it, we are trying to extend these and sell them as a complete kit, like longer chain, brake line, or steel braided brake line, etc.... My question is, are any of you out there interested in something like this?? It would be considerably cheaper than buying an aftermarket swingarm. Let me know what you guys think.

LRD is doing the same thing except not as a kit but you send in your original swinger for them to work on. i dont know how much they charge though. anyways, it sounds like you guys are on to something good, so keep us posted. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

go to www.moto-man.com choose swingarms under atv categorys last time i looked there were metal plates you could buy to extend your swingarm, not sure how it would work but it seems like it would work

 

i had mine done by a local shop here in medford OR. he charged me 280 for a 6"job they braced it internally and externally. it turned out very very nice but it is a lil heavier.check out my pics.

 

Extended mine 2", still using the stock brakeline and shock. No complaints other than its too short for my bike now. +4 is next. My shop charges me about 75 bucks.
