any pics of the stretch in process? looks cool
I got the bike with the stretch welded already on the swing arm, pretty much a basket case. But i do have a couple pictures of what it looked like when i got it. If you want to check out my blog i will post those pictures for you Jet36. http://jesc-blog.blogspot.com/.. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks JesC
IM trying to figure out how to get this bike to look right with a soft tail. I have a hard tail, but it sucks for the wife… Working on a new “Brat” (2up)

OK got some up on my blog of the swing arm when i got the bike. I see a lot of people that just lower the seat rails without extending the swing arm or do both. I decided to not to drop the seat and keep the stock side covers and battery location. This is just my first build and im kinda sticking to the cheapest i can get her done and on the road. But i know after this one i want to build another i got got tons of ideas for builds.
Hey, Yer bike looks sweet. I’m just getting started on my first build, but I know I want to keep the shock and swing arm for comfort, so any info on extending the swing arm and moving the shocks would be great. Thanks, Lars
Nice work. I like the look of the streched swingarm. I did one and I know it is tricky. I will post some photos of it. Keep us posted!
