Extended swingarm and higher than stock height...insane??

I know you can extend the swingarms on crotch rockets and ya know how people usually lower them...slammed and stretched...i wonder what it would look like if you extended the wingarm and put a link on the bike, not a lowering link but one that makes it higher. My buddy is like 6'5 and he has his 1000rr higher than stock from a link he bought, if only he extended the swingarm...DAMNNNN! i think it would look sick. NE one ever see this before??

I think the huge gap that would show up between the wheel and tail would look retarded, IMO.

Nope, new one for me. I'm assuming if your considering this route that you really don't care at all about handling, right? Ext. swingarms have a negative effect on the handling enough without raising the bikes center of gravity to boot. Might look cool, dunno, but I wouldn't do it on any bike you plan to ride anywhere other than in a straight line.
