Stretching bike swingarms

[cedartowndawg 3]

I've seen some pretty crazy stretches, from 10"s to around 14"s..

I'm looking on this one site and they're offering a 20" and over custom.

I'm curious as to why?

A 4" to around 10" I can understand because if you add power to the bike, it's gonna further space where the torque is applied and thus make it harder for it to lift the front tire.

Anything over 16" is pretty much going to put completely you out behind the rear fender.. I can get for drag racing but if you're gonna do that, you're not going to worry about buying it online and you're just gonna build one from scratch that way you can get over a 330 tire and just run a drag slick for a car, not to mention that you'll probably have a wheelie bar so it will be almost pointless.

I've seen people near where I live running roughly a 14" on a daily cruiser of course it had air ride on the rear swing, these were bigger guys, because they wanted to keep their ride quality and not forfeit their weight handling but never the less...

When do you think too much is too much?

Hit up the poll.
