Ftd customs swing arm extensions?
Anyone here have a set of FTD customs swingarm extensions? I read a post by the owner over on a busa forum. They make all of their extensions in house in Tennessee. I ask because they have a kit with an extended chain and brake line for $375. I just have trouble trusting my bike with such a cheap set up. Like I said though, the company looks legitimate.

375 is a good price but not cheap. I think the spencer cycle extensions are aroun 189.00 to 200.00 and a chain is around 150.00 and tons use spencers ext. with no issues including me in the past.

I run his extensions on my bike, haven't had any issues with the, its been an 8.97 with a 1.41 60'. However if you are going to be racing the bike I would get a better chain. The chain he sales is a cheap one.
