You buy the materials, I'll make the part. You pay to ship and let me know what you think is fair. You'll have to drill and tap your swing arm

There's NO reason you'd need to extend a swing arm more than 6-8".

16" stretch is harming more than its helping, even on the strip, its just plain retarded.

+1......shorten the swingarm by 8 inches and strap the front forks for the drag strip.

How could you ride the bike on the street with the swingarm stretched 16"? The handling has to be terrible.
