Go for it. If he does good work post up some pics and see if hes interested in doing anymore and for how much.

ive help make one where we only used the forward tubes and the carrier holder and remade the entire center section of new tubing, was a cleaner finish IMO. good luck

Look for an 86-7 Tecate swingarm. They are aluminum and two inches longer.

With one exception. You will need to center the shock pivot mount.
I done that mod and extended 4 more inch's so over all length is 6 inch over stock 84/85, made up my own skid plate and never looked back.
I also cut a whole lot of the alu bracing out and added cleaner looking bracing.
I don't believe I have any close up pictures but these will give you a idea as too how it will look.

I've extended two. They're tit to do.

This is the first one. I made this one on my driveway with basic hand tools and a flux-cored (gasless) 110v welder.- http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthread.php/86606-Thinking-of-building-an-extended-swingarm...

Here's the second one- http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthread.php/121342-TecateDan-s-Tecate-build?p=939426#post939426

Both of these have seen plenty of abuse and never failed.
