Re: Getting closer
I extended the swing arm 10" and split the driveshaft in half and had it welded and balanced.
I'll take some more detailed pics tomarrow.

Re: Getting closer
Another pic. Last summer I stripped it down and made it a hard tail so I just went another step and extended the swing arm. I thought if the sport guys can do why not. Weather been crapy so I haven't had a chance to put any rear miles besides around the neighborhood next and last thing is going to be a 4 into 1 exhaust coming out the middle of the swingarm. The hardest and priceyist mod was the driveshaft had a local machine shop lengthen and balence

Re: Getting closer
That's a lot of goldwing there. Looks nice, I've never ridden anything long wheelbase.
Does it really slow down your lane changes.

Re: Getting closer
Turning around at low speeds would be the issue. Kind of like turning one of my race bikes around.scodo68 wrote:No lane changes are the same

Re: Getting closer
Perform HOTT's front end rake mod and that would be one long bike.
