Sorry you probably wont find one Ive been look'n for a couple of years now and all I have came up with is too make it my self out of another swing arm that way all the lines will line up on the swinger you know it has that angled bit at the bottom and if you extended it with a rectangular piece it would look dumb.....

As for all the other guys giving you crap about extending the swinger thats just what they do when you talk about doing an extention on a F4 or any 600, they gave me crap too but I just let it go in one ear and out the other...LOL.....

It will affect every thing the 600 was desinged to do! but I am gonna be a daddy now so I think the showy over the go'E is more my style now. Just incase.

Check out the transformer F4i it is sweet and just about the length you are looking for he had his swinger custom made and looks sweet!

Default swingarm extension

I have a company here in Missouri that fabricate the swingarm extension for my f4. I am doing an 8 inch extension on mine. He told me the price will be around $200 but it will look factory. They hand roll the aluminum to match the bends of the stock swingarm.

i think extended swing arms on a sport bike defeat the purpose of sport bike. trade you bike in for a cruiser. but the f4 swing arm has a heavy grain to it. and it has bracing in side to strenghten it. unless your going to polish your swing arm(it's streched so why not chrome it) buying another swingarm and using it to extend the swing arm will be a better bet than broke aluminum. when you brake normal aluminum you weaken it. and you cant break 6061

I have a old F4 swingarm for sell if anyone wants one to fabricate with.

I know a chick that had sw extenders on her GSXR n thought she loved em, until she had em took off n went back to stock. Now she really loves riding her bike n how it handles in the twisties

Default swingarm extended

I am trying to figure out what tire to get for my Blast. I read several posts but I keep getting confused of which one to get.

Can anyone tell me what tire will last the longest and fit the stock swingarm..

or should I have the stock swingarm extended and go for a larger rear tire. Or is there any one that sells a longer swingarm?

-Thanks
