I have been looking into streching my bike. I talked to a couple guys and they are looking for 600-800 dollars to make my swingarm longer because they dont make any kind of extensions for the f3. MY question is. Is there any other cbrs that have a swingarm that will bolt right up to my f3 that they make extensions for ? that would bring the price down a bit and back into my price range.

 

I've been searching high and low too, for swingarm extensions. There does not seem to be any options out there for us, other that going to a fabricator to modify our oe swingarms... or swapping to another. I don't know about direct swap-ability from CBR model to model, but I did find this http://cbrworld.net/forums/thread/291863.aspxon how to swap a 900rr swingarm to an F3. However, some mods had to be made to get it to fit. Then... there are swingarm extensions available for the 900rr swingarm. I don't know how the cost adds up. The swingarm could be expensive, plus the extensions. You may be close to the $600-800 anyways. But I dunno.

 

i spent $250 on gettin mine done. i just needed another swingarm to cut and weld, i have a guy here in ky that did a great job on mine and it wasnt that expensive

 

ya I found a swingarm online that is already extented but i dont know much about them and it looks kinda ruff, http://jeepersracing.ecrater.com/pro...hp?pid=1252342

 

Wow! I dunno, looks pretty scary.

 

Look here www.flickr.com/vallip I just uploaded a pick of the extensions I fabricated for my bike a few years back.

 

they look nice. how do they work ? and would you make another pair. I am really looking to stretch my bike. and if I cant do it then I will be selling the bike

 

The extension worked really well, I used them when I was dra gracing some years back. What I found out is extending the swing arm to much will reduce the weight transfer to the back wheel to much and you will get wheel spin.

I might still have the chain I used so I could tell you how many links I was using.

I'm not sure how much it will cost to have them fabricated but I might be willing to sell the once I have, just make me an offer.

 

i dont know if you got my pm. but I would like to buy the extensions. iam not sure on price I would stay 250$ would you have any pics of them on the bike ?

 

i wouldnt think extensions wouls be as strong unless they were welded on, then which jus do full swingarm
