Swingarm length

[Petewag]

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I wasn't able to find to doing a search.
What other stock swingarm can I install to gain a little length? Example on the cb450 in rebuilt I used a cb360 swingarm which was also 1" longer then the 450. Sorry to use a Honda as an example. Yamaha man now, well not yet, bike is still on it's way. Getting a 1981 XS400.

check out the radian twin shock, popular upgrade for the 650 brigade

the problem with the radian swinger is that ppl are asking stupid money for them nowadays ( I guess the word is out about the 650 guys)
Not sure if you're set up for fabbing stuff up, but it doesn't take much to stretch the stock swing arm. I'm in the process of it now, I can snap some pics and post them up

I would like pictures please!

Thanks for all the input, doing the fab work would work but I'd have to get someone to weld for me. No funds for a good welder. Post pic when you can, I have my eyes on a spare swingarm.

Sweet!!

The bike I'm getting is the 1981 Special, will a swingarm from other years fit?

If that was my wife I wouldn't be posting messages. I'd be, lets say, a little busy.

If you search Ebay there are folks doing swing arm stretches. They also add bracing.
