RE: Swing arm extensions
i have wondered the same thing i have a friend with a streched gsxr 1000 and it hauls *** but our f4i's dont come up unless they are modded so unless u drag its probably not worth it because it kills its handleing and also no more wheelies which i would have a problem with

Well I want to keep the front end down when I gear this thing. I am tring to keep up with the bigger bikes but I'm getting smoked off the line. I want to go up 2 in the rear sprocket, extend the swingarm and get some cams... I just dont know where to get them............

your 01 F4i is not going to keep up with a 1000 in a drag race unless you spend around $10k on it and most likley not even then.
I have never seen the point of stretching a 600 unless its solely a drag racing bike (with extensive modifications for that purpose). I know not everybody likes doing trackdays and cornering like I do but mods like this that make a 600 almost useless at anything but drag racing, which a 600 is not even good at or intended for in the first place just seems a bit strange to me. Personally I like to keep my motorcycles as "well rounded" as possible. IMO you never know what you might wind up doing with a bike but if you extend the swingarm your pretty much ONLY going to be doing drag racing and straight line riding when your on a 600?
I don't have a problem with drag racing, there are a lot of people that enjoy it but why use a 600 if your not racing professionally and competing in an actual 600 class? Drag racing is the one form of motorcycling that it seems to me having a 1000+ cc bike is a no-brainer and likeI said, trying to compete against 1000s on an older 600 is a waste of time anyway.

^+1 i just think when u cant do all the stuff u can on ur toys it becomes worthless because if u want to hit the track with-1 in fron and +2 in back u can still run pretty fast unless u have been doing this a while -1+2 will take u for a good ride my sugestion is get some gears and some mods i.e PC3 full exhaust and airfilter then stick with that i think that should satisfy your need for speed
