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.

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

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

Turning around at low speeds would be the issue. Kind of like turning one of my race bikes around. :roll:

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