Post subject:  Aluminium swing arm ?

Hello folks - I few years ago I bought an ALUMINIUM swing arm for a monoshock CX500 ( could be the 650 am not sure ) Unfortunately I have lost the details about the model it came from. My question is , does anyone know which model had this fitted to and do they know where I could locate a drive shaft for it. I would like to fit the arm to my CX500 in order to create a "stretched look".
I have the ability to sort out the suspension issues - converting twin shock frame to monoshock ( or monoshock arm to accept twin shock setup ) but would rather not lengthen a standard CX500 shaft - would prefer to fit one the correct length to start with.
I hope that somewhere within this forum there might be someone with the knowledge of this swingarm because I think that it would make for an interesting conversion and I would hate not to give it a try for lack of trying.

For those who looked at my modified CX - the black beast - I have completed the wiring but have no sparks. I am going to modify the rear engine case to accept the later pulsars in order to get rid of the CDI and use the spark amplifier setup of the later models. The amplifiers are the same as those fitted to the GL1100 Goldwings apart from the length of the wires attached to them ( I know because I have 4 of these units as spares for my Wing and at present am using the units off the later CX in order to spark the engine, I only had to turn them around 90 degrees to compensate for length of wiring ) .

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated . Hopefully I will have the beast finished before the winter sets in - or the early spring at the latest.
