Yeah that transformers bike def isnt stretched as much as this one my guess is its probably somewhere around 8-10 inches. I forgot about that guy when i was trying to think of any other stretched f4i's ive seen. Annndd im gonna go out on a limb here and say yeah for drag (at least thats what i meant when i asked if it was done for the track/racing). Yeah im pretty sure that extra 16 inches would only slow you down in the twisties i dont know of anyone stretching their bike out to improve their cornering.

before the chain was slapping did you ever have problems hittn twisties??
how long have you had it lowered/streched??
and now that it is modded do you sometime wish that is was stock??

Where did you get your swingarm? Or did you get it custom made?

If you have "play" side to side, it needs to be replaced. Your chain should be tight on top, your sag should be on the bottom.
