Seeing as Shadow closed the thread that jgroce1985 put on about extending swingarms before any pictures were offered. Here are a couple for you mate, hope they help you. Seems some folk are just a bit **** about keeping bikes standard but I think if it works for you then go for it bud.

 

Thanks a lot....I don't know why shadow shut down the thread I was just being truthful all I asked for was pictures, not to have my ***** busted about MY bike...he was the only one on the whole thread that had something bad to say.....seems like admin abuse and as far as being a noob, hell I'm sure he was one at one time too....got to start somewhere.....Anyways, once again Thanks!!!!

 

no probs matey. I think he may have got outa bed the wrong side. I have drag raced mustangs and an old van. Planning on taking mine up the strip this year for laugh. If you looka t the pictures you'll see its far from standard, but ha it's an 88 so what do you expect. Trust me we aint all as testy as that on here. Good luck with the project and let us know how it goes

 

that single sided swing arm looks amazing. id love to do that.

 

The major concern I have with this, apart from the personal abuse, is the fact that jgroce has no idea about the bike he is attempting to make into a drag bike.
First off, the California 1000F was a limited production run in those colors, for 1990 only as far as I know. and is quite sought after by collectors.
Secondly, the California bikes were restricted in production to produce only around 100 BHP as opposed to the standard CBR1000F, which puts out around 125-133 BHP.
On that count alone, the Cali bike isn't a good choice for a drag bike -
The weight distribution causes the rear wheel to spin, and the front won't climb.
The weight at 252Kg's, or around 550 Lbs, makes it a heavy lump to get off the line, and to stop. The rear brake will lock up at the slightest provocation, and throw you on your *** if you aren't aware of it.
A GSX 750 is about 175Kg's or around 400 Lbs. You can't chop off that much weight of a 1000Fto even make it a fair contest.

Your sprocketing on a 1000F to run drags would have to be around 15/46, front to rear.
For a 1/8 track you don't have time to build up momentum, to overcome the weight problems that the 1000F add to the power/weight equation, so not a good option.
These bikes are sport tourers, not designed even vaguely for dragging, but do what you want.
If however, you are interested in getting some useful information about the bike you are attempting to mod, then the above may be useful. Go get yourself a manual at www.carlsalter.com
If you ask the right questions, some of us know some of the answers.
The swing arm is the least of your problems.

You can do what you like to what you like - I could really care less.
