alternative swingarm

Butterworth7v
im looking for an extended swingarm for my cb750k (i think 1978, not sure if k6/7) preferably a cylindrical one as opposed to the current boxy-type. I had a look on wrenchmonkees and they used a kawasaki z1000j swingarm on their gorrilla punch bike, it looks mean, but dont say if they fabbed it up or it was a straight swap. Anyway, if you have any ideas on alternative swingarms i could use with minimal to no fabrication required, it would be fantastic!!

A 79 CB 750 swing arm is a straight swap, and gives about two inches. The 80-83 swing arm can be used buy drilling the mounting holes in the frame out to 5/8 inch, and triming 1/4 inch off each side of the swing arm where it attaches to the frame.

Who cares what the Wrenchmonkies are doing.

The 1978 is the longest. Least amount of work.
