If you do wheelies you shouldn't change your swingarm IMO. My buddy has an extended swingarm on his GSXR 750 and his bike will get sideways before it'll do a wheelie

extended swingarm + wheelies= epic fail..... I wouldnt suggest extending the swing arm if you want to continue to do wheelies

The entire point of extended swingarms is so the bike won't wheelie when launching down the 1/4 mile strip. You have an F4i, put down the crackpipe shaped like an extended swingarm and enjoy the bike.

+2, I wouldn't recommend getting the swingarm, but I have seen riders w/ 4" ride wheelies with the best of them. Just cause the bike is stretched dosen't mean it won't still standup. I seen Pro Mod bikes with extended swingarms & wheelie bars ride wheelies down a 1/8 mile track but it's not safe.

ok.wheelies are fun but it is dangerous(id hate to drop my bike) and i love the look of a stretched bike.only options i can find are the 4 or 8 inch on ebay.so i gotta pic between the two,itd be nice to see pics.....
