Anybody have one or know of sumone who makes kit???
I'm sorry but y'all can ban me after this if y'all want but damn, that to me is pretty much the same thing as you saying "yeah I'm a poser, I want to take a good starter bike and make it look like its a badass, so I can be a badass!!! Yeah badass, useless but badass!!!"Lol. Yeah. All for looks. I love the way a lowered extended bike looks
Too each his own, but all the other mods you mentioned don't take anything away from the bike like that would...Im not wanting to do it to be a bad ass or a poser i just like the way it looks. Im not takling about extending it 10" mor like 2" to 4". Everything we do to these "starter" bikes as u call them can be considered being a poser or bad ass. If its a "starter" bike y spend $1000 dollars on an exhaust or fender eliminator kits and all that stuff. If its a "starter" bike we should just leave them bone stock but no we dont. We all have different taste. So if u wanna call me a poser or wanna be bad ass go for it.i dont care.
i guess people are expressing their opinions, not to bash you, but to figure out why you like it. (you have to admit, it is quite different for the 6r)
i, for one, don't think it would look good but if you like it, then that is what matters. We buy bikes to ride them and mod them as we wish. A lot of people on here thought me putting the clipons under my triple tree was stupid because i had to cut the plastics but i loved it, and that's what mattered to me.
In answer to your question though, no i have never heard of one or seen one. Maybe contact roaring toyz and ask if there is one available or if they could craft one for you. Good luck.
Cmon guys, lets try not to be so harsh or bash him.
We aren't the gixxer site.
That will change to geometry of the bike, that will affect the steering and stablity. I trust the Yamaha designers on all this stuff.It's funny! I wish mine was about 3" shorter... That's one thing I like about the Speed Triple... short wheelbase. Never had the chance to ride one but sitting on the bike and it feel good and looks good.
Agree with you. Not going to mod that.That will change to geometry of the bike, that will affect the steering and stablity. I trust the Yamaha designers on all this stuff.
If anyone more concern with what looks good, then shorter or longer just a matter of taste. (Disclaimer: I'm talking about the motorcycle parts here)
ya the only real reason for swing arm mods isAgree with you. Not going to mod that.
and so is the lowered one......
a longer bike will not corner as well
About 90% of the people I know or talked to who have extended swing arms all drag race their bikes. And 100% of them all have 1000cc bikes or bigger, and most of them have some serious engine work done or are running nitrous. With that kind of power the extended swing arms serve a purpose.I haven't found a place that has a kit for this but I would like to see it done on our bikes I don't think that most people with stretched bikes do it for anything more than looks it all about what you like
