One of the most frequently asked questions we get is: What swingarm length should I choose?

We have put together our general recommendations on wheelbase lengths for different applications. If you have more questions, email us at contact@dmeracing.com for help.


STREET USE

  • Street Use Only – 8” over stock with 4” of adjustment
  • Street Use and Drag Racing (Street ET or Pro ET) – 8” over stock with 4” of adjustment

*Note: Any stock motorcycles with a swingarm over eight additional inches will more than likely need an aftermarket tail.

ROLL RACING

  • 2 – 6″ Over Stock

GRUDGE RACING

  • All Motor – 77-82” wheelbase
  • Nitrous –  75-82” wheelbase
  • Turbo GSXR-1000 – 77-82” wheelbase
