Thanks.

Seriously, looks like you got a heck of a deal on the bike. You planning on keeping the exhaust system in the pic? It might work well on a stretched bike.

Hey LBM,
You's been hosed. Go with it these guys know their shiite and will offer mucho help and assistance when you are ready. Stretching a swingarm has nothing to do with tension and everything to do with welding and precise fabrication. Stretched swing arms are used for wheelie avoidance and also to increase turning radius.
