    Don, measured the swing arm on the bike today and even though it was a bit hard to access the pivot part that was 220mm on your bike, mine seemed like 205 - 210 mm, but the length was almost identical. 460mm center to center and about 520mm total length. So I wouldn´t gain much by changing to a 550 swing arm.
    Damn it.

    I have seen some use a square aluminium one, I wonder which models had that??? I have to check http://www.suzukicycles.org/All-Suzuki/all_suzuki_models.html to find that out.
    Why can´t things just be easy and bolt on???
    Maybe because we wouldn´t learn anything by that...

    Thanks Don for your help.

    Maybe I will have to check with BobberBob from Sydney that I talked to via his link at Youtube. He extended his swing arm by welding. His bike looks really symmetrical.
