i saw them on ebay but i didn't really see the point in an extended swingarm on a warrior. I guess if you want to do hillclimbs and drags with your warrior but that really isn't the warriors strong side. the extended swingarm would just make it harder to ride trails.

Is there any reason you need a longer swingarm??
Longer swingarms are nice on higher powered quads on hill climbs, it helps to keep the front down. A stock or mildly built warrior wont benifit from a longer swinger, basically it will be just for looks. I have no problem keeping my front down when im racing up a bowl or doing a tree shot. Plus a longer swinger will make your trail riding less enjoyable.

It'll drop your staight line pavement times, make it climb hills, and keep the front end down. For trails id say no.... but if i could afford one id have it right now.
The more power i can deliver and keep the front end down the better in my book.

My Raptor feels small and a little unstable at high speeds, wouldn't a longer arm help me out? With a 2" extension my wheelbase would be no longer than the 450s.
The more power you can DELIVER the better. A longer swingarm is going to give you less traction because it shifts some weight towards the front wheels. I don't know about yours, but mine spins quite a bit with the stock length swingarm. Wheelspin isn't power delivery, it's wasted power.

if it's unstable at high speeds, get a better pair of shocks. I think you can get brackets that allow you to mount up yfz shocks.

Well alot of people have already said why I would need one It help keep the front down. The place I race at has some big hills its at a old coal mine stip pits and I have roll it back a number of times.
I would only get a +2 I don't think it will make it to hard to turn on the trails.
The extended swingarm is a benefit as it greatly reduces the weight on the warrior, but not on a rappy. I would consider it a waste of money on the rap350. If your quad is rather unstable at high speeds you should really adjust your allignment or toe in, they are more than likely off. You can compensate for the front heavy condition by adjusting the preload on your suspension so that it's uneven to shift more weight to the rear, that will help you out greatly. Many people forget about that one!!!
