Default What do I need to extend swingarm?

I love the look of an extended swingarm, but I have never done it to any of my bikes before. What is everything that I would need in order to do it?

you can buy bolt on extensions now-a-days for damn near any bike. still need a longer chain/brake line like Vern said.

e-bay is your friend.

A wider rear wheel/tire would be a nice compliment to it.

If you're going to stretch it, I'd stick with getting a whole new swingarm instead of doing extensions, unless you want to be able to change back to stock wheelbase "on the fly" (which is really not on the fly at all... but less time consuming at least). It looks better than the extensions.

Why are you stretching? Drag racing, or just because?

If you're stretching, I would also suggest lowering links. If you're racing, I might also suggest a strap for the front end.
