    Someone brought up a very good point in why not to hard tail a 550 maxim. So I am keeping it soft but still want to stretch it. was wondering if there are places that specialize in swing arms, etc. I am going to put some funky shocks on it... dirt bike mono shocks (as I saw with someone elses project). But want the rear end stretched at lest 4 inches

    the more its gets stretched the lower you go,longer the chain,MAKE SURE YOU GET THE LONGEST CHAIN YOU CAN GET FIRST,the most i would strech without bottoming out would be no more than 4inch,get a second hand swing arm chop the arms off then,get the right steel tubing an make one up .,(if you no how to mig weld),by the time i finish this you should have cut it up already,CUT CUT CUT,
