Ken, it adds about 8 to 12 inches to the WB depending on the batwings used (some move the spring back further from the axle than others) and also the perch used on the front crossmember. I calculate from my mockup that my WB will be in the 115 neighborhood, which is where I want it. My 23 was 100 and my 27 is at 103,5 so I figure the added WB will give me a little better ride and handling. My short WB 23 was a little "interesting" on the 1-2 shift when I had my foot buried in the firewall.
