Default yana shiki swing arm extensions

Anyone ever used them? Safe? Any input would be appreciative...

I don't really track it up or canyon run, its just my daily cruiser, but I do take to drag strip and I want to be able to get out the hole faster without risk of popping the front end up over and over lol... That's why in debating on getting one

Can't say anything about those particular extensions. But as a precursor to what you'll inevitably hear in this thread, don't worry about negative opinions in stretching your 600. If you're using it for the drag strip and cruising around, then enjoy it. Stretching is just one of those things that some people find completely pointless regardless of intentions. Sure, if you were doing it just to be flashy on the street, then we could make fun

F4i's are wheelie monsters. (as you know from drag launches). I personally hate to see a crippled 600 because of a swingarm extension. You are limited to only going fast in a strait line. Turns, wheelies and easy daily driving are now a thing of the past lol.

Have you tried compressing the forks with ties down straps?

If you do decide you want some Yana Shiki swing arm extensions I have some for sale. They are the black ones and all you'll need it just a brake line and longer chain to put em on. All the mounting hardware is included and they are extremely easy to put on. We had em on a friend of mine's bike for about 1k miles then took em off because he wasn't comfortable with em. He's more of a twistie type of person himself. If you're interested let me know.

Do you happen to have a picture with them on the bike?

And I understand what most people see the F4i fir add being a good stunter or nimble bike, but like I said I don't do anything crazy, just cruise.... But that's also why I want just an extension, in case I don't like it then its not a major procedure to return to normal

I don't have one on hand but I'm sure I can get my hands on a pic for you. You can adjust up to 6". It doesn't make the bike look ridiculously long either.
