Default extended swingarm

im looking for information on how to stretch the f3 without having to take the swing-arm to a chop shop is there any other swing-arm from other cbr's that will fit this bike so all i have to do is get extensions so that if i want to go back to stock adjustment? also might be helpful if there are any custom shops that sells these extended swing-arms for this particular bike already bult and ready to bolt up.

These are bolt ons. They put them on eBay for $200 shipped. I don't know this product. There are more on eBay. You will need a longer chain too. I know some shops can take your existing swingarm and extended but it may def be more than $200.

I'm gonna warn you on the swing arm, it's going to change the turning on the F3 drastically. Don't let that stop you, just know.

There comes a point when looks < stability and performance.

well it wont get done till i get back from iraq and i do know the turning issue your talking about i mostly drag race anyway plus i just had a child so i figured that by stretching it ill stop trying to do all kinds of crazy wheelie stunts on it and i like the way a stretched bike looks as far the chain its really not that hard to do once you do a few of them and have the rite tools

Yea you are gonna get some double standard posters (well not now) that will say "why would you stretch a 600 ?" and "its gonna mess up the way the bike curves." Fv<K em cuz later when you say you went over the spend limit they will still rag on you LOL.

I havent seen any stretched F3's so go ahead and do it and Oh yea post pix !!!!!!!!!!!

I fitted a f4 swingarm in my F3 then baught the extensions, the f4 swingarm did take a bit of work though, im gunna go with a 1000 RR swingarm in my F2 I think.

I saw some pictures and i just didnt like the way the extended swingarm + tail looked together...

Now sf KNOWS the f3 swing is pretty crappy itself, and I am sure an f4/f4i might give you a bit more room if its longer and the chain adjusters on those are cake!
