Codi - the first picture was taken on the way to get a new rear tire, right?

Csmith9 · September 11th, 2011, 11:23 PM

Haha they were actually both taken today, and I intend to not get a new tire till next riding season (ridiculous I know). Actually 2 weekends ago I had an opportunity at a new FREE back tire, all I had to do was win a burnout competition (against 1 other person) clearly I didn't take that risk of not getting it.

akima · September 12th, 2011, 01:25 AM

I can see why you were torn Codi. I prefer the bike angle and lighting in the first one, but the background in the second one is cooler.

Csmith9 · September 12th, 2011, 01:12 PM

Thanks Akima, if I had access into that industrial area I would have gotten a few more shots at different angles.

Though I figured it's just because you like that style. Individuality comes with individual taste.

Here's one of my favorite pics of my bike, though I do have to admit I have plenty of favs for this bike:

The handling is great. The balance and stability of the ride feels alot better than before. My wife said that she felt a big difference in the ride.

Honko · September 27th, 2011, 03:54 AM

Guh....extended swing arms are so ****ing ugly, but to each their own.

akima · September 27th, 2011, 04:00 AM

I think the extended swingarm looks quite good. Would be fun to give that bike a ride and see how it changes the feel of the bike.

We could do swapsies for a day! Though you probably wouldn't have so much fun on mine: it's quite close to stock. I plan to put an Area P full exhaust system on it next year though. I've also got a bunch of [expensive] graphics ideas for my motorcycle.

If you had my bike for a whole day...I probably wouldn't get it back

. Definitely send pic's when you get your exhaust system on...and when you put the graphics on it.

@Kungfu Panda: What's the benefits in use a long swingarm?

The swingarm, along with a wider tire actually gives the bike a better center of balance. Since the change…my performance and handling has improved greatly in both straight-aways and cornering. Straight-aways meaning…when you’re going about 60mph and the wind is blowing…it’s not affecting the performance of the bike. And cornering definitely puts a smile on my face…that’s why I went with the 180 size tire because it’s a little harder to lean with a 190. I am not looking into speed from my 250r…but stability, balance and great performance. Plus..I wanted to mod up my bike like my cars. Just having fun with my 250r…that’s all. Above is my test engineering degree talking for me....

. Have fun and be safe.

I'm sorry they is no possible way your bike is more flick-able then a standard 250. With a elongated swing-arm you wouldnt stand a chance against my 250 or anyone else's 250 in corners. I guess I could see the freeway thing, that makes sense. But cornering there is no way

Your bike has a bigger wheelbase then the new GSXR 750 lol

muzkur · September 27th, 2011, 10:59 AM

Interesting.
I always think long swingarms are worst to corner because you have a bigger distance between the wheels.
That's the pro in Buells. Lower gravity center and almost together wheels give to Buel the title of the Best corner bike in the world.

Just like I tell my friends...If you never had a Mercedes...then you'll never know the feeling...until you own one. I've been riding GSXR-600 for years....but I'am not trying to compare apples to oranges. I just like the style and feel of the extended swingarm...and since I've made the changes...I am definitely loving the feel of my bike....

lol no offence Mercedes handles like ****, but it is very comfy (Yes ive driven a couple Mercedes) Audi is still my favorite, Ive driven an 2010 A4 a lot, its a spectacular car

I'm glad you like the mod, hope you drive the **** out of the bike

And take the chicken strips off

Honko · September 27th, 2011, 11:11 AM

Whether you've ridden a bike with an extended swing arm or not doesn't change the dynamics of what affects the turning ability of a bike.

sombo · September 27th, 2011, 11:23 AM

If you honestly believe it increases your performance in both straight-line and cornering then I challenge you to take it to the track and prove it.

muzkur · September 27th, 2011, 11:45 AM

Kungfu Panda · September 27th, 2011, 01:09 PM

I was ask earlier...why? That why applies to me...not you and your bike...but me. The stability, balance and performance is what I wanted on my bike. It will not apply to you or your bike at all. I don't care if your bike can beat mine in a straight away...or beat mine going around corners...I'am too old for that stuff. Alot of us have some really nice mods on our bikes...and some of us don't...but it doesn't make any of us better than the next person. All I am doing is sharing my bike with everyone...if you like it...good! If you don't...thats good too! Cause I know its not for everyone. Now!!..When I want to ride somethings fast...and can handle the curves...I'll drive my Mercedes AMG...but for now...I am just having fun with my bike. You all ride safe...

Is that a stock 250 rear rim too?

choneofakind · September 27th, 2011, 01:37 PM

it can't be. A stock rim is 3.5 inches wide and will pinch some 150's. There's no way it could hold a 180

I understand that, however I was only referring to this:

And I still say that if you think that's true then prove it. Otherwise it's a false statement. That mod will have the same effect on another 250 as it does yours, so this

Quote:

statement doesn't make sense. If you like the mod that's one thing, but making false claims of what it does to the 250 with no way to back it up is misleading to others wanting to mod their bikes for better performance.
