Not to mention, OP mentioned wanting to be able to lean better...

Extending a swingarm doesn't change you're body position on the bike at all.. it's not going to move the rearsets or bars, so you're still leaning in the same spot. There's guys on here that are 6'6" and 225 lbs. and more that are totally comfortable on their 600s...

Stretched/lowered bikes are for show/drag strips and it ruins a bike's physics. Why do you think bikes have gained height and ground clearance over the years?

IMO bikes look sexier with the stock ride. Unless you have a drag bike, I don't understand why anyone over 5'5" would ever lower/stretch their bike..

 

p.s. Aren't you the dude with the transformer bike? Please, please, please tell me you're not going to lower that thing...

 

Six foot, but only 150 pounds, and I have ZERO problems, turning, stopping, OR cornering. Must mean you're unedumacated

 

5'10" 200 LBS and i do just mine also. its not the hight that makes it harder to lean.

 

Sitck with your ten speed son!
