Default swingarm question

i have been looking at putting an extended swingarm on my 98 900rr and i am having a problem finding one. does anyone either have one or know of anyone who does have one for sale, or where i can find one? i am not wanting the extension blocks, looking for the full swingarm.

I don't know of many places that sell complete swingarms. I found this one,.

http://www.swingarm.com/

However, I know you don't want the blocks, but I wouldn't be completely against using the blocks and welding them in. If your wanting to keep your stock one, you can always buy a used swingarm on ebay, then buy the blocks, and have them welded in. It shouldn't cost more than 100 bucks to have them welded in, and any shop capable of tig welding should be able to do the work accurately. The blocks slide into the swing arm so they are lined up, then its just a matter of getting them the same distance from the pivot, and there done. Cost wise, it would be much cheaper to buy a used swing arm and weld in the blocks.

ok havn't thought of that. would the blocks stand up without the bracing? I guess i should of mentioned that i live 20min from local dragstrip and love to race my bikes but havnt got to but once since i bought the bike. I need a new chain so i think i am going with a d.i.d. X-ring chain and one tooth down in the front, so i do need the blocks to be functional more than looks.
