Swingarm Length Guideline

One of the most asked questions we get is, what swingarm length should I choose? We have put together our general recommendations on wheelbase lengths based on different use applications. If you have more questions, send us an e-mail 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 more than likely will need an aftermarket tail.
