OnlyA2Stroke Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I have a PRM swingarm skidplate that covers the rear linkage for the shock. Will it fit on the +2 Swingarm from "Swingarmshop" on ebay? Also, I am getting +2 rear braided brakelines and a X-ring chaing but "what size"? I am using the stock axle and carrier but a different locking nut. Should this be all I need? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Skidplate mounts depend on the swingarm so you'll need to ask the seller. A 120 link chain is only a few dollars more than the stock chain so get the max # of links and a chain breaker. RMATV has one for like $8.

Washburn Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Why are you getting an extended swingarm? Are those the only mods you have or do you have/plan on getting it agressivly ported? Im guessing you ride in the desert mostly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyA2Stroke Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I am going for a +2 extended swingarm because, i want to keep the front end down. I ride alot of gravel roads and logging trails where I can open it up. and when you are coming up a small hill, the front end seems to come up alot. I need a longer stance to keep the front end down. Or am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 No your not wrong but try sitting up on the seat a little in first and second then back up if your more comfterble that way (traction) when your in the powerband. An extended swingarm is good if all you do is straights but if you do any type of cornering it will kill your handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 i really doubt your skidplate will still cover the linkage. when they extend the swingarms they extend them from the shock mount back. so everything will move back 2 inches. so im guessing your skidplate will be off 2 inches from where it would be on a stock length swingarm. as for the +2 and handling, i doubt you will notice much if any difference. i run a +6 and i can whip my bike around just like a stock one. once you go past +6 you will def start to lose handling though.
