Stretching out

[MeanMax]

Got my taxes back this year and of course, It all goes in to the Max a few Emails to Sean Morley and a 6" stretched swing arm was delivered! The max was stuffed in a shed with my fathers bikes so my girlfriend told me i should put it in the bedroom at our apartment to work on it. How lucky am I? Kinda cramped but it works! As of now the swing arm is installed, the wheel was just set in the hub to show what its going to look like. Tail light has to go and i may have to do something with the fender. What do you think?

Love the vmax in the bedroom look.
Sounds like you got a keeper!
Is it 6" or 3" over? Looks good.

 

[dannymax]

Hahaha!! We knew you were up to somethin' Zak....in fact Steve-o and I were talking about it today! :rofl_200:

Come on summer!! unk:

 

[MeanMax]

Its 6" over and is underbraced. Hey Danny! can't wait to see how it does on the strip. Gunning for low 1.5 60 foot times. Keeping the front down was my biggest issue but that shouldn't be a problem now:eusa_dance:

Looks good Zak...
I thought i heard somewhere that you cant fit a stock rear fender with a 6" over arm :ummm:
Apparently i must be wrong cause it fits for you

 

[one2dmax]

3" over is all we normally recommend. If he gets the light and inner parts out of there it may work except on hard bumps.

[dannymax]

Maybe remove that oem light-blob thing.....lighten it up with a Cycle-mods or Exactrep -'cat's eye' type light? :ummm:

 

[twistedmax]

When my 3 over was done I had clearance issues and to make it work We slotted the mounting holes on the grab rail. That allowed the rear fender to be lifted enough to clear.Might help on yours:confused2:

 

[MeanMax]

I removed the taillight and metal part from under the fender and it looks like just hits the little tabs that the tail light mounts to. Had my girlfriend sit on the back with me and bounce on it while my stepson checked to see what would hit. Think if i trim those tabs off ill be set. I have Works shocks in the back that are stock lenghth but i think they have less travel then stock. Will put us some more pics soonunk:

Few more pics. Brake caliper is mounted under the arm.

Looks great Zak, and kudos to your GF for making room for your other love! You should be able control that front wheel lift on launches now! Good luck this season!
I am going to a 3" stretch, moving the shock mounts forward but will still lose a little ground clearance I think. I run 13" HD 440 shocks so I should be ok. To be sure I'm removing the inner fender and redoing my tail light/ plate setup to lighten and make it fit tighter to the fender.

 

[Horrendous]

That 6" stretch looks really cool. Wonder how much it'll affect handling

Mable is retired(and I dont mean she got new treads) she lives quietly in the corner waiting to be fitted with the next customers MAXGASSER. Now Percie on the other hand........................shes a diffrent kinda girl, Im still feeling her out, but I should have a handle on her by june.
