I know this is probably a stupid question, but anyway, how much of a difference would getting a +1 swingarm make, could I still do wheelies pretty easy with this? I'm wanting to know because I can get a kick a** deal on a lonestar. Also can you tell me if there is any other parts I would need to buy to set this swingarm up... Please reply as soon as possible!!!

it makes a huge difference. yes you can still wheelie, but it will be a little more difficult to get up and find the ballence point. i got mine and did not notice much of a difference. but once you ride a bike with a stock swingarm again you realize just how much of a difference there is.

as for other parts you would need, may want to replace teh swingarm bearings but other than that you should have everything.

I've found that when going with an extended arm, its not really worth it to go anything less then 2". Thats just my opinion.

well I was thinking the 1in because I can get a brand ne lone star racing one for 350, and they say its normally 750 so I thought it would be really hard for me to pass up a deal like this

definately buy it for that price and if you change your mind sell it and you will get more than what you payed for.
