bigger tire = different swing arm?

hi guys. i was reading and saw people are using a Suzuki GS swingarm in order to use a larger rim and tire. does it matter what size gs it comes off of? are there any other swing arms that can just be bolted on for a decent price used?

my bike frame is a KZT00A-030869

THANKS .......JOE

Depends on how big of a rear tire you're planning on using, then figure in offset sprockets for the engine and possible need for a bearing assembly in the sprocket cover to prevent wear on the engine's output shaft(where the engine sprocket mounts).

Some offset sprocket makers:

Maybe this will be of some interest, but the swingarm from my 83 gpz1100 (I think it's a stock swinger) is almost 1.5 inches wider and 2" longer than the stocker on my kz1000...

what about the pivot, does it match as far as width?? i know the diameter is the same or at least i think it is
