to extend your stock arm?? only one place.. they did mine and i would recommend them 1000000 times over. spencercycle.com. Give them a call and let them know what you want done and they can give you a price. Tell them Brandon Wallace recommended them. I think i paid like $460. of course this was first 04 arm done and it was back in Feb 04. so its been couple years. actually i think they have picture of my bike on there website. my arm is adjustable from 2-7 inches over. only thing you will need is longer brake line and longer chain. cool part of the adjustability is that you can set it to what you want. 4 inches may not be enuff of may too much.. so you can change it to what you want. mine runs at 60 in wheelbase so its 5.1 over right now. its perfect length for me. it does wheelie if i spray it hard, but on motor it will pull tire off ground about 1 inch if that.

did you call them??? or are you looking for other places?

maybe Adams Performance, Cycle Concepts,

look on psychobike. they also do arms. or trac dynamics. theres more than one company that does them..but there all gonna be pretty similar.

I bought a plus 6 over arm. I like to ride the twisties and +10 just didnt allow for that as well as i would wanted. Loyzfr1 could get more use out of it than me, so i sold it to him. Cant wait to see that bike done, its going to be an animal. Hopefully since I have my 07 on the way, i can start building mine!

Is there a large difference in handling between +6 and +8 over? Thanks.

There is a huge difference in handling whenever changing wheelbase any considerable ammount (and 1" is ALOT when talking about handling). My R1 handles like crap 6" over lol...

Honestly, just do extensions its cheaper and will be good until you really start making alot of hp and cutting <1.50 60's. That being said, another +1 for Spencer Cycle! They made my extensions and I love them, and their swingarm work is second to none from the arms I've seen.
