Default Got a question about swingarm extensions

So Ive got a 98 cbr 900 and i was thinking about stretching the swingarm. Im not really trying to put a pile of money into this bike since it is older and i plan on selling it in the next year or two. I found these extensions for $250 and wondered if anyone has used them or know if theyre shit or not.

Or if anyone knows of a reputable company that can stretch it for me.
Thanks for the input in advance.

Yana Shiki are junk.. but they get the job done. i have seen them brake..

also gotta price in a new brake line, sum bikes need a rear brake mount thingy, new chain(i would do spockets also), lowering links/dog bones(so your bikes doesnt look like a 4x4). if you have the stock fender your probly going to have to do away with it.

You're tall enough, why lower and stretch?

Guess if you don't like turning, but I'm not getting into this.

to the op...when they are slammed and stretched the handle like ass...

get someone with a stretched/lowered one and let you ride it...they are great for staright lines but suck ass at cornering...

if you enjoy taking on/off ramps faster than 30 then dont do it..
