My issue is, im going over my 1980 gs750L starting a few weeks ago, and i'm wanting to extend the rear swing arm out 6-10 inches, I'm dead set on the look! So what is the best way to go about this? I have seen several pictures of my bike with bolt on replacements from different bikes, as well as cut and modified rear swing arms (which is what im thinking as of right now). My brother is a experienced welder but he seems kindove iffy on the best way to attack it keeping is square. ANY thoughts would be appreciated! Ill add a picture of my project shortly!!

GSX1000E
I have added a couple of inches to the wheel-base on a '78 750 by simply installing a '79 GS1000E swing arm with the custom made bearing spacers and retaining the stock 750 swing arm bolt without
drilling the frame to accept the larger 1000E bolt. Not as much as you want but a safe and easy modification.
