get an adjustable...0"-6" is about perfect for the street. that way you have some play room, to find exactly how long u feel comfortable with. check in the site sponcer section, i know a few of them made nice looking adjustabe arms.

good luck!

the longer the arm, the less likely it is to wheelie....it doesnt always mean better traction.
