I have BBR forks, there the ones before they were SP-5 and have 4" of travel and I have a LE ishock in the rear. My bike sits basically perfectly level. A swingarm would make it sit perfect not to mention make the shock work better.

Yah Id defiently get a swingarm.

Thats the purpose of it, if you dont get one, you'll have too much rake on your forks making it very difficult to ride. Id get a nice billetware swingarm, (sano, five-o, sik50s, or just order it direct from billletware.com) and it will make the bike much nicer to ride.



It will also make your shock softer, so if your shock is already to soft, id go ahead and get a stiffer spring from ishock.



Call them up, Brian, Brad, or Darren are really helpful guys. I think a spring retails for 30 bucks or so.



Good luck.

Essentially, if you can afford it, get a swingarm, but it will work with stock. Id love to get a Five-0 swingarm but cant afford one right now, just got done spending 1grand on the 50 as it is.
