i am thinking on getting a +6 swing arm for my raptor i mostly dune ride up at silver lake and i like doing wheelies but i need a longer swing arm for drag racing but will it effect my turning and wheelieing

+6 is a lot of arm, and yes it will definately change the bikes handling charachteristics. Turning will take more room and wheelies will be much more difficult.

What all is done to the bike, and what tires are you using?

Last week you said you had a 686, what happened to that? And a 105mm piston is 727cc's.

o it is the guy i bought it from said it was a 686 o well 727 is better

ps i just bought the piston so its not in yet but it will be lil bit since it is a 727 i have to get a la sleeve witch cost $80 and the on back order so it will be 3 weeks and will a stage 1 hot cam work or do you need a stage 2

You are going to need more than just a sleeve, and putting a stage 1 hotcam in a 727 is kind of like welding up your intake and exhaust ports. You need porting and a more aggressive cam not to mention a new connecting rod.

it will be good for draggin, not so much for wheelies though. you can always just keep the old one and swap them out whenever you want to do something different.
