No corners where you live then. Or are you taking up drag racing?

Maybe get a double rear wheel kit on there as well

Only joking there's a bike for sale on e-bay ATM with an extended swingarm, maybe ask him?

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

IMO, extended swingarms are the second most idiotic sportbike modification in existence, only topped by the dillholes who remove one of the front brake rotors.

Each to their own I suppose, not my taste either and on the one that's in my link I think it ruins the look of the bike.

Why ?
It's not as if the 1000F is a fire breathing wheelie machine that will pop the front wheel at first hint of throttle.
It's a great sport tourer so why do people want to make a pigs ear out of a purse !

As if an '87 Hurricane is so common. Just by riding one makes you different. There is no need to butcher one.

But if you must do, buy another swong arm, take it to a welder and thell them to cut one up to extend the other.
