78 KZ 1000 swingarm swap

Looking to swap swingarm to accommodate a wider tire. Anyone know which ones will fit without serious mods. Minor welding and such is no problem.

GS1000 Suzuki is a pretty easy swap, but those arms are getting scarce. I used a 87 GSXR arm on mine but it required a good bit of work and welding.

Early 80s gs1100 suzuki works, make sure to get shocks with it.
Just takes a little shimming
