Seems to me you would have a problem getting a belt to use on it .

 

The guys racing the Warrior have extended swing arms with chain drive.

 

Yea I don't want to go to chain drive. Just extend for dragbike look.

 

Finding a belt would be a problem but the bigger problem would be finding a shock spring that could support the bike with the extension.

 

I was in North Carolina a while back and saw one with an extended swingarm. looks cool but different. Bunch of local shops up there that do it. Britt Custom Metrix AKA Britt Motorsports will do it I know. They are in Wilmington, N.C.

 

The belt is not the problem. You get the Gates Polychain Kevlar belts up to 136 teeth in 1 1/8" width and up to 139 in 1 1/2" width (regular Roadstar pulley).
That, together with a smaller front pulley (30T or 31T) Will allow you to extend the swingarm by about 2 inches.
The 1000 lbs Eibach spring would compensate for the longer arm. I am pretty sure you can get even stiffer springs from Eibach that would fit.

I have been thinking about it if I would ever build another Warrior.

 

Why mess with perfection? Because we can!

 

The company that does PR's singarms offers a billet one for the Warrior. It's out there in Cali (like everything else). Can't remember the name, contact Mark he should be able to provide with the manufacturer.

 

Yea I'm going to be talking with Mark this weekend. (He has my bike.)
PR's bikes run the air shift though the swing arm also.
I don't want to go major just enough to move it back. I've always been in love with how long this bike is but instead of cutting the rear fender to move it above the rear tire, I'd reather move it back plus it would give me a reason to start racing it. Even though I didn't race this past weekend I have the itch. Anyways i want the drag bike look so I figured this was looking into.
Thanks for the info Oliver.

 

We will want pictures! Lots of pictures....
and prices... Low prices...
yeah...
and world peace...

 

I can't get the front tire off of the ground now so what would be the reason for a longer swing arm? Is it just the look?

 

good point gunny.

 

There is a guy that I bought my extra belt from out in cali that has his swingarm extended. I'll look up his e-mail for you.

 

Gunny your not trying hard enough. The tire will come up. I want to go for the look then for the reasons to drag it.

 

I've had my front tire off the ground several times running red light to red light. On the first launch it spins the rear tire (not smoke it) and gets it REALLY sticky. On the next launch it'll pull the front tire off the ground.

 

I have a 2" extension on my swingarm. Viking Motorcycles did it for to my measurements. The 2" extension is perfect, but you cannot use a 139T belt because it is too long. I have a 137T belt on mine and it looks longer than stock, but still looks factory made, not overly long. With the 139, the adjustment was over before I could get the proper belt tension, also, the tire was knocking against the rear fender when I sat on it. Granted I weigh 280lbs, but it may be a problem for lighter guys, too. I put the Baron's hvy dty spring on at the same time. The whole conversion actually makes the bike ride way better IMHO. You can see my bike in the for sale section of the classifieds forum, it is under Midnight Run's post 02 RSW with lots of custom work. Check out the front brakes, too!!!!

 

Do you have any contact info for Viking Motorcycles.

 

Guys I talked to Mark Underwood an a Place called Trac Dynamics does there swingarms.
