    Seriously for a moment ... if you extend the swingarm as he appears to have done, how much does that affect the handling?

    It'll fuck the weight distribution, widen the turning circle, more travel on the rear wheel with a lower spring rate and lower valving might lead to some interesting bump effects, probably do something to the turn in and mid corner stability too. But you'll be able to get a mean launch off the line

    So it's a fine idea as long as you don't want to go around corners?

    There's videos of people lapping tracks ok with extended swingarms, so it can't completely f them up. Wouldn't be my first choice but....

    Nah man, that's about 4000-6000 hours of cruising town. It's had heaps of use!
