Bad, its at 64 5/8" right now, our 'realstreet' limit is 65" on a nitrous bike.
I'm going to put it back to 70" soon and take pics

I've never seen an evil arm in person, but if you ask me don't buy a mcintosh. I wasn't impressed with his service at all.

There is no reason but posing to have a lengthened swingarm on a streetbike.
Slow and Bad both have good reason to have them, they push those bikes down the dragstrip in very serious fashion on a regular basis.
Slow, the blue aftermarket looks great. If I ever reskin mine, the carbon fiber goes and the aftermarket OEM painted plastic goes back on.
But I am hoping I never have a reason to replace the current cowling, since mine probably won't ever see a dragstrip.

I RIDE MINE ON THE STREET ALSO.. even 100 mile road trips and what not ..i prefer the long arm bike over the stock because of smoothness over road riding .. you don't feel every bump.. its really a better ride just watch corners and driveways ..

Yes, but yours isn't a streetbike which spends most of its time on the street. And you answered the question well .... you can't corner for shit, compared to a stock zx14, and real bumps would wreck you.
I don't feel every bump on mine, but then I have set my suspension up right, too.
And lowered, lengthend zx14s which are only ridden on the street are nothing but posers. They don't dare go out in the mountain twisties unless they go slow like the Harley's.

Slowninja, looks good! Not for me, but you certainly have put a lot of time and effort into it. Oh, just by the way.....in SA I went to a rally last year and there was a black ZX14 with a lengthened swingarm that handled very well and had nitrous fitted, so it cleaned up on the drags too. When I saw the bike about 50 miles from the rally site at a filling station on the way there, I also thought :dude, I am gonna kill you in the corners! I am sad to say that he rode away from me. Maybe I just don't ride my bike as hard as he did, but I was surprised. OK, he did leave the filling station just before me, but he went like a bat outta hell.

Thanks guys.
Aside from the sidewinder exhaust, my bike will handle just as well as most streetbikes in the area. I rode with a few before the sidewinder and none of them lost me in the twisties. If they advanced in the corners, I made it up in the straights. And i'm not talkin about other 14s, i'm talkin about liter bikes.
The motor is doin pretty good. It's eating the nitrous up, although the stock clutch setup doesn't like the HP i'm throwing at it. It still trapped 170 mph in the 1/4 which i think is pretty decent. If i can learn to ride it, it should run 8.20s or better.
