My first weekend of TT racing I used a +2 swingarm. Holeshots were non-existent because of wheel spin. I got on the phone with RPM the as soon as I could, and ordered me up a -2 TT swingarm. It weighs about 4 lbs, gets awesome traction, and drew a crowd at the first race I had it at. RPM is a great group of guys, too. They sent 40+ stickers in all different sizes and colors and a shirt. The guy I talked to, Jeremy I think, even said that he would come up and run a race or two with us if we let him know far enough before hand. This thing is sweet! The welds are amazing, it was spendy at $600, but it has held up fine for 8 race weekends, and I've gotten every holeshot I've started since I put it on.

that is a mistake of many TT and FT riders, long bikes are for drag, short ones are for TT, better turning, faster turning, and less wheelspin, this is the reason why honda changed the frame in the 87-88 conversion, more traction
