extended swingarm?rear shock
- Thread starter x-man
- Start date
no new shock required.
adding length to the swinger will soften the stock stiff azz shock
it should sit near the same height if you buy an aftermarket swingarm, only extended stockers would raise the rear height as most of them didn't move the shock mount......and eventually broke !

you'll be fine with an aftermarket swingarm, even a swingarm shop swinger from ebay.
it was extended stock swingarms that proved time and time again to fail.

search on here, you'll find more carnage
You may be able to find a 2" bolt on extension. Don't know if they are still made, might find one used.
There is a lot of force on a swingarm. Member on here "Blaner" made a swingarm from scratch. I would have bet a $100 it was a solid design. And it broke.
Anyway cut and hacking a stock swingarm is not a viable option.
