***1981 Honda CB750 Custom*** Need Advice!

Main Event
I just picked up a 1981 Honda CB750 Custom on trade. I don't know much if anything about Honda's. I have only owned a 1980 Yamaha XS1100 Special. I'm wanting to know if it can be stretched? I don't really like the extenders. What swingarm would mount up without to much hassle? I'm shooting for the old school stretched Kaw look. Is it possible? If anyone could help I would certainly appreciate it.

The DOHC CB 750's have the longest swingarms that I know of for these bikes. It is a common swap to put them on the older SOHC bikes. If you want something longer, you are going to have to make it.

I got a buddy on another forum. IIRC he has a stretched DOHC arm he's not using. I'll look in to it.
