Anyone Ever Extend A Frame????

[oldskooolracer]

I Have Been Thinking Of Moving The Front Up A Couple Of Inches To Get Move Myself Away From The Handle Bars Along With A
Swing Arm Off Of A Triz 3wheeler.




Anyone Know Anything About This?????


I Have And Extra Frame,,, And Tri Z For That Matter.


And No I Don't Like Irding A 3wheeler So It's Either Being Sold
Or Parted Out. I Tried To Ride One And Just Didn't Like It.

That's a defeatist attitude. Do it up. Learn from phragle's work!

basicly all you would have to do is cut and extend out in front of the motor ( do it in front of the tubes that run to in front of the motor)

ive been looking for something cool to do to the spare frame i have before i paint it and put my motor on it, whats the advantages of strtching the frame ? i guess it would handle better kinda like an extended swinger?

 

[phragle]

the red one is a stock fram with an extension, made it in leager's 250r jig

I HAVENT SEEN THAT ONE

ANY LINKS?



I THINK THE LESS YOUR LAYING ON TOP OF THE FRONT WHEELS/STEERING STEM THE MOR CONTROLABLE,, ( DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS CORRECT)

I'M JUST COMPARING TO WHEN I ROAD MY BROTHERS 300EX AND MY FREINDS RAPTOR 350 SEEMED TO HAVE MORE ROOM TO WORK IN

right here......

 

[blasterman87]

looks cool, what diffrences does that make for handeling?

 

[phragle]

longer wheelbase, more stable in in the whoops at high speed.

 

[blasterman87]

oh, so theres no advanteges over a extended swinger?

 

[phragle]

definit advantage it changes the whole weight bias of the bike, figure your bike pivots at the footpegs, extending the swing a lot will place more weight on the front. the swingarm on that is only a +2 with 12.5" of travel. it also has several more degrees of rake than a stock bike, meaning that as you hit a bump, the wheels not only move upwards but also backwards slightly absorbing more of the hit allowing you to go faster while being smoother.

thats a big part of the reason +1 foreward a-arms we originally designed, by moving the front wheels foreward you are actually lightening the front of the bike under power.

any more pics or details or directions? lol


why do you have that angle on the front would that be an issue as far as jumping it?

 

[blasterman87]

yeah im intrested in the angle or 'rake'... i have a spare frame

 

[phragle]

biggest issue jumping it is getting it in the air, long soft travel absorbs whatever you hit, so to really fly you have to nail something incredibly hard. the blue bike is designed for more all around riding, the red one has one mission, going straight thru whoops topped out in 6th gear

 

[blasterman87]

so your saying if i would rake my frame, not stretch just rake it wouldnt be very good for mx?
