the stock arm will have very little torsional strength without the dual shocks ,sportbike swingarms are cheap to come by B)

the stock swingarm will need braced and a hole cut out and welded back up for the shock.

03 kawi zx636 swingarms go for cheap on ebay.

check out ramtoughs thread to see his zx636 swingarm mono shock conversion.
