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.

Re: Got a question about swingarm extensions
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..
