MIKE at Max-V Motorsports did John's 4 to 6 swingarm...
I'm not sure how long this one is (picture is ON MaxVs site) but he will do it pretty much any length you want 2-day turn around! (if the size you want is in stock) CALL HIM and he will make sure he has the size you want before you send him your arm...

Frank Adams ALSO does very nice work...but his ZX12 extentions don't have the same shape (bevel) as the Stock arm...
Not a good (close) picture but...you can see that Frank's extentions don't keep the "stock appearance" as well as MIKES do...
His "2nd generation" blocks DON'T have the adjuster bolts out the back the way ZX12girls do (in this picture)...
Tough luck for Angie...she got one of Frank's last "1st gen" blocks

DON'T FORGET to send (whoever) your brake-caliper-bracket to get it altered to work with the extention (we didn't know when we sent John's to Mike...cost us a few extra days)...
P.S....MaxV MIKE is Doug Ray's (Spencer Cycle) Race-sponsor and SPENCER CYCLE helps pay for THIS SITE...hint...hint...

Don't freak Richard...they (MIKE) add a piece to the bracket that the caliper is bolted to, making it longer (towards the front)...
Look at your bike...the bracket has a slot in it for that "tab" that's on the swingarm...the TAB on the swingarm keeps the bracket (and caliper) from turning with the wheel when you apply the brake...
When you "move the wheel back" with extentions...the bracket isn't long enough to reach that tab anymore...
They just make the bracket longer so it will reach the tab with the wheel moved back...
Simple...no big deal...it's included with the swingarm job...
I was just telling you that you need to SEND THE BRACKET WITH THE SWINGARM...so they can do it...
WE forgot to send it so it took the extra time for the shipping...that's all...
