Yer ...Pete I was going to go there and say something like that , but I though ..ow well everyone to their own thing

I personally also don't see much value in reducing the handling characteristics ...

Its only a four inch stretch. And yes, I plan on taking it to the track a few times. I take my cars out to the track every now and then, but ive never rana bike down it.And I think it makes it look better anyway. To each his/her own

Mat I ask ...? which type of track are you going to take her to mate ??

The stretched swing arm will not make it handle any better
...actually it will make the handling worse

The OP did also say that it's his personal preference and he thinks the extended swing arm looks better. I personally don't like them, but my brother says.. Like OP says, "to each their own".
