GS500E Extended Swing Arm

[Gumbyrmw]

Just looking to see if anyone ever bought/made an extended swing arm for there bike and how it went?

All i have to say is "wow"

[girlracer]

i'd like to know what the point of that would be, i could see it on busa but not a gs

i don't want u to take that in a bad way, but i really wouldn't see a point in it.

Well what if you put a bigger sprocket on the rear, wouldnt it make you acceralte faster and pull your front wheel up. And to cure that you would just move the rear wheel back for a longer wheelbase and not pulling the front tire up.

I don't think you can put a bigger sprocket on the gs to make the front end instantly want to come off the ground, i think you would still have to try pretty hard to get it done.

why put the body kit and rims on the cavalier?  I'm not putting you down for it, I'm just guessing that you did it because you wanted it that way, and because anybody can drive a stock vehicle but it takes balls to tear one apart and make something new...'nuff said.

I believe most people have swapped swingarms from other bikes mainly to gain torsional stiffness (ie, cornering stability) rather than trying to prevent wheelies.  Most GS riders don't have a problem with excessive wheelying, so they don't fix a problem they don't have.  I would suppose you could do like most real drag bikes do, and cut your swingarm in half and weld in a few inches of square tubing, lengthen your chain appropriately, and try it out...but any advantages?  None that I see.  If you do try, let us know what happens!!
