if you want to do a mod on your twin a suzuki gs1100 swing arm is what i used. i used a ltd1000 rear rim with a 140 bias ply tire.a160 is as big as you can go with the gs arm.here is a pic of my 76 750twin.

If you search the archives, you will find a pretty complete description of everything he has done to the 750 twin.
Also the story of it's second place finish in the Mid Ohio bike show
