theshee Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Im not sure you would benefit much from an extended swinger, but if you get one get one from locogato. His stuff is nice, and tough. I wouldnt trade my loco +4 for any +4 out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had no problems what so ever with the extension. I think you will be okay as long as you dont go wild with it. Then again Loco could build you an arm resonable, I've seen his work and it is top notch. Either way I think you'll be okay. gipperz :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 If you are talking about the bolt on extensions, I wouldn't trust them, your ass depends on that thing holding up good. But if you are talking about an extended swingarm (the whole arm) then yes they are good when you start increasing your horse power. The more power you have the longer the swinger needs to be to hold the front end down, but you also loose traction with the longer swinger which is usually compensated by with more paddles. It really depends on what type of riding you do and how much modding you have done to your bike. PM Loco, he puts out some pretty good swingers from what I have heard.............. By the way welcome to the HQ and the addiction................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phx450 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Drag race = sure MX = no way. Simple as that. the bolt on stuff i would never ride with one of those. Pick where you ride the bike the most and pick your swinger based on that. I drag race only i have a plus 8 with 10 paddle if this helps.

By the way welcome to the HQ and the addiction................ I tend to agree. Those swingarm extensions look pretty dubious to me. I have seen alot of guys running them, but only in the dunes. If nothing else, they look silly. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonmandela27 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 all ive ever heard for trails is reductions but if youve got a lot of hp i would say just leave it stock because stock they are already kind of long, but thats just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
