That sounds scary as hell. Did the weld brake ??
You may want to look at old GS1100E or 1982-3 Katana 750 -1100. They have really nice solid swingarms.
Your other option is bracing a stock Swingarm. It could look really nice but might cost more than just buying a better one.
what are you offering for a used one?
I saw a used one on ebay just last night, heres a link.
