Actually its not bad in the curves , not as bad as you would think , you should ride a stretched bike sometime , i mean they cant be rode no where near as hard in a turn as a normal bike , but they arent unridable

i'm glad to see you got really good gear, i have a spidi suit and it is top notch you won't be dissapointed... stretched bikes aren't necessarily as bad in the turns as some people might think, but also don't ride over your limits trying to keep up with someone on a stock wheel base bike

i know you just got it, but have you given anythough to trading someone your swingn arm for a stock one? i bet you could get a stock one plus some cash, i owned the same bike and the stretch is totally unecessary for drag racing on that bike, its a awesome awesome bike but its not like a 12r or busa or 1k that needs a swing arm to stop 1st 2nd even 3rd gear power wheelies, i'd say sell/trade the swing arm and get a 15$ lowering strap for trips to the strip, but have fun on it, looks nice

Thanks guys. And thanks Del La ...I Kknow your know your shit for sure. Im going to learn on the extended arm and just take it east for half a year or so. Then after that might swiitch it around after I get comfortable. I need a jacket for just crusing around though. Any ideas on a decent one ? I dont wana wear my leathers everywear : p

yea thats cool, i didn't care at all what my first bike was, i looked at all kinds of stuff, many extended...

as for the jacket, i'd just pick up a AGV, alpinestars, teknic, joe rocket... something like that they can be gotten for under 300$ easy for the leather ones if you search a little or buy used

i have an AGV TEX-05, its a great textile jacket with CE approved armor on the shoulders and forearm/elbows.. has some foam on the back as well, and a removable liner, for like $130 or so... great stuff, i have an AGV helmet and gloves as well..

but since you already have an icon helmet, might try matching it with a jacket as well, because i have heard good stuff about their apparel as well..
