The coby arm is the lightest and cheapest of the 3 mentioned...
64inches is a perfect length!!!

My underbraced 6" over trac arm has proven to be very stiff lateraly, and thus i am very impressed with the handling for a 64" bike... I have mine set up at 5" over too, and run 28 psi, hook on the street has been quite good.
I like the fact the trac arm has 2 axle locations on the adjuster blocks for quick change to short chain and sporty cornering, and a full 6" of adjustability, without the axle adjuster hanging off the end of the swingarm.

with any of the arms do you have to modify the rear finder if you set up at 64 inches. and will a 2.5 lb nitrous bottle fit in the space if you set it at 64 inches. thanks for all the help

I do not want to bad mouth anybody but I have had both a Trac and Terry Mac arm. The Trac on my 10 and the Mac on the 14. The Trac arm was very well built but if you are going to put a bottle on I would suggest the MacIntosh. The reason being, Trac still uses a pinch style nitrous bracket which is not only pretty cheap for the money you are paying but also dangerous. I have a friend who has had the bottle drop out on two different occasions as it shrank during use. The end result was just two trashed bottles that he had to have polished but it could have been worse. I never had this problem on my 10 but I personally saw it happen to him. Terry Mac has a basket that the bottle sits in. Very safe and very well done. Also, Terry does a cut out on his arm to allow the fuel pump more room, the result is no bottoming out. Terrys arm also comes with bearings already in, less hassle for you.
Hope this helps.
And to be fair I am not familiar with Coby's arms first hand but he a great reputation for doing things well.
