Looks pretty cool. What mods have been done to the motor?

The longer the swingarm the worse the bike will corner, but it will be more stable at high speeds. I am running a -2" on my banshee and it made it handle 10x than stock.

What are you using the bike for?

I run a plus +2 on my Honda for hillclimbs. I don't have any trouble keeping up on the tight, twisting trails;)

Those flames look nice but don't seem real practical in an atv application. They'll be the first thing to bend/break, then it'll really look hosed with missing/bent flames. Maybe you ride somewhere where it won't be a problem but I'd tear 'em up first ride if it were mine.:mad:

No, I drag a little bit at the dunes, but that about it. I mainly ride in the woods and free riding, but I also ride a lot at the dunes.

Not really, I can still easily maneuver in the woods just like I could with my stock swinger. 10" would be super long, 3".........nah. Just gotta know how to handle the quad in the corners. ;)

Stock motor.......big plans ahead, though!!! :devil: It's piped and jetted currently and thats good enough until I get the suspension and handling down......then the motor will get a work over. :cool:

Practical for me.......Bending/breaking the flames is definitely not going to be an issue for me.....I ride the woods, but nothing is going to break them off. I think the flames look awesome, don't hate. :macho :D

lol......missed one!!

No doubt......3" is not that much, the only time I notice a difference is when I try to turn while barely rolling. I can slide the quad easily.
