82 GSX 750 E swing arm swap

Hello, I'm wondering if there is a swing arm with no undercarriage for the mono shock and linkage, instead the mono shock mounts on top of swing arm and angles up to frame.

That said is there a Suzuki model with this type of swing arm that would or could be modified to fit my 82 GSX 750 E and mount a 190/50 tire?

I've got a couple of 2000-ish swing arms to use as shown exampled below but I'm 5'2" this is getting slammed and bobbed and I really don't want the undercarriage.

TIA
 
I put a Bandit 1200 swingarm and wheel on my GS1150 this one has weld in extentions on it. The Bandit 1250 swingarm is a better choice or looks better. You can get a 1200 swingarm fairly cheep I have a few extras

Can you obtain a straight chain-line with a tire that wide? Saw (photos) of one bike with a big fat tire, and they had to use a jackshaft to improve the chain-line.

Yes this is what I wan't to see one just like that... Bandit 1250 swing arm.

I've been looking at this all day think... think ...think ? I know I could make what I have work but I just don't like the look. I glad I got a idea here as I was ready to change direction and build one. But now maybe I won't have to build one... I'll have to see what's in my piggy bank :eek:
