I was looking into fitting a JMC swing arm or similar into mine but the costs were high for no great improvement save for the bling, which admittedly was what I was looking for.:)

The Yanks seem to have fitted single sided swingarms to a few of theirs.

I've often wondered if the swingarm off the Honda Bros 650 would fit.

Nope, sadly. RGV banana arm looks like it'd be fairly close, and it'd look ace in a curvy, but probably still needs cut and shut- the curvy shock's offset way to the left so even arms that otherwise would fit are troublesome. SRAD swingarm, frinstance, is a perfect match- the right length, the right width, same frotn spindle, the linkage mount would need machined down... Then I noticed that the shock would go straight through the left arm :rolleyes:

Lots can be made to fit with a bit of effort, though.
