Maybe this will help you. I also like to drag race. This is best suited for my quad. My mods are as follows:

K&N filter kit jeted the carbs accordingly, FMF titanium 4 power bomb hedder, FMF titanium 4 muffler, a performance rev box, and an Xtreme High Performance One Way Starter Clutch. Im having the head ported and flowed. A web cam will be installed and a stroker kit is in the works now, etc.


For high horsepower applications an extended swing arm is the only way to keep the front wheels down. At high speeds your quad will handle whoops and rough terrain much better. A longer swing arm will help you get a better holeshot and you won't have to worry about looping out your bike. Lonestar swing arms come with swing arm pivot needle bearings and a billet aluminum "

Plus 4- Rider has high horsepower bike (wheelie machine), likes to drag race but still want's to go to the motocross track. Good for desert and wide open riding. Larger turning radius, (not too bad, really) but high speed stability and better holeshots make it well worth it. Best all around swing arm for desert. Rear shock re-valve highly recommended and mandatory if jumping big.
