Okay, not being a motorcycle guy, I cant fathom the purpose of this kind of mod. Phallic in nature? There is a tool at work that has one of this sort, not as long tho, but it has the requisitetough guy embroidery on the saddle.

Someone enlighten me please...
There is no point to that besides the guy being an idiot. That bein said, extended swing arms are usually done for drag racing to make the wheel base longer. It helps with traction and to keep the front end down on hard throttle.

Wont the longer chain delay power output to the rear?

Actually it would delay a power impulse reaction at the rear wheel as the chain has mass. The delay would be imperceptible but easily modeled.

Figure 1B provides a reasonable example of this in the linked paper.

As you can see as the distance from the initial force increases a time delay occurs.
Syadasti what have you done with Westy and when did you hack his account?

'k, so it takes time for the chain to stretch, and it takes some delta t for the elongation to get from the drive end to the driven end. Would have been nice had they published the solution...

The solution was provided in Laplace space which is actually more useful than if provided in the time domain as it is the more compact solution that provides the same information. Both the Laplace and time domain solution can be easily modeled by a computer.
