Extensions
I'm going 5" over,weigh 100kg, run a shinko,and it is my daily transport.
What gearing should I go?
I have very average riding skills
I run a quickshifter, but will save up for an air shifter.
I'm spraying a 40 shot SWB in 3rd, but will use it in second with 5" over.

go 1 down up front and maybe 2-3 up in the rear for some serious acceleration. Although, on the street, you'll be spinning a ton. On a prepped track, your shock will be your limiting factor.

Just got a new EK zzz 150 link so I can install my extension. Worried about hurting handling

Quarter Pounder's right, it's a recipe for wheelspin. Few of the really quick LSR riders use extended swing-arms either, on a stock wheelbase they still struggle for grip at 240mph. Stock wheelbase gets more weight over the back wheel. If it's your daily ride it will be compromised and only worth doing if your number one priority is quarter-miles on a prepped surface.
