Stretch Depends on what you want to do with the bike ... 62 inches works well for the street and strip but it is kind of a trade off .. 62 will hook better on the street than lets say 64 inches but 64 inches will be much better for the track ..
Gearing is something you have to test to see what works best for your riding style .. As a rule bigger guys like more gear than us skinny fuckers .. I can get by with 16/41 at 62 inches but that will not be the best set up for a guy that weighs in at 220 pounds ..Guys 200+ pounds could use 16/42 or 43.44,45 or even as high as 48 ..There is no way to know for sure , you just have to try them all till you find on that fits you ..

I went with an 8-12" over arm recently because I was at 6-8" overlast year and didn't have any traction problems. Plus, you never see people selling 8-12" over arms to get a shorter one, but look on psychobike.com, and there are probably 10 different short arms being sold to get longer arms at any given time. Just a thought. But smokin is right, anything over 6" sucks on the street.
