Title: Another stock swinger extension
Post by: NaturalRaptor on March 12, 2009, 11:06:21 PM
Here you see the pics of the before.
I weighed it but this one includes the shock bolt, pivot bolt barrings, and caps.

These pictures show the completed swinger. It got 4 inches added and a great Powder Coat from a local shop. I tried to match the frame as best I could and it even got a heavy clear coat. It truly is a work of art. The weight this time does not include any barrings, bolts or caps.

Thanks guys. Waiting to tear down until after four-stroke wars. I spoke with John at Racers Edge and he is one heck of a guy, but said they were focusing all there attention on the races.  Worked great for me because I just put this thing back together and want to get in some ride time. After the races John said they normally have a 2 day turn around and I will send him the jug, head, and throttle body. I can't wait because this thing handles so much different, it will be easy to handle the extra power. I should have stretched this thing a long time ago.

Thanks everyone

King of Bling did the +4 extension for $300 bones. It would be $280 but if you want the skid plate mounts it is $300. (Tip- If you have a drill and a tap you can easly do the mounts yourself because the rear holes stay the same). I had to cut the skid plate too but not problem with a sawsall. The powder coat was done locally for 125 bones. It is clear coated and it sure does look awesome in the sun light.

Probably one of the best mods I have ever done. It should have been the first.

I'd love to extend mine - and the stock look is sweet.
Would it prevent me from riding tight, tight woods?  I'd probably only go +3 so it would still fit sideways on my trailer.

granted my SLC is a +2.. I had no issues running in the woods XC. :thumbs:

I run the trails and woods too. It has been no problem for me and easier to keep the front end down so now I can nail it and roost around a corner straight up the straight aways. Some say it is difficult but it has great for me. IMHO.
