Default need sv help!!

i currently have a 2003 sv650s, which i love! but im starting to see more and more pop up around my area so i want to turn it into sumthing no one has. im tryin to put an extended swingarm on it and i am trying to find out if any other suzuki swingarms are compatible with the sv? it will save me a ton of money to find this out because if no other swingarm is compatible with my bike, i have to get a custom swingarm made from a mold of my stock swingarm because no one makes swingarms for the sv! so if sumone could help me out i would really appreciate it! thank you!

So you're hoping to find a compatible stock arm that's longer than your SV's? If you do find such a thing, it probably won't be enough longer to be noticeable as a fashion item. It may well adversely effect your handling, though. Generally, custom arms aren't cast from a mold, but simply lengthened with a welded-in extension.

Show bike OR bike for riding.........take your pick.
The two are often not compatible.
