Default Swing arm extensions

I have an 01' f4I and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas where to get some swing arm extensions. I am also looking for sprockets and a longer chain. I have no idea where to get aftermarket parts for these things. Somebody want to help me out?

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

you will not be able to keep up with liters in a straight line no matter what you do......

strech ur bike and it will become useless at handling.

Ok, lets say I don't stretch it, what about cams and sprockets? Where can I get those, and what kind am I looking for?

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
