Has anyone out there had their SXV Swingarm modified to shorten it up to VDB specifications? Who does this work?

If there is someone out there who specializes in modifying swingarms like this, I also need to have some work done to one of my RMZ swingarms on my race bike. The clearances between the swingarm, tire, and chain are too tight, and I have to cheat the wheel right to get everything to clear.

When extending (Dakar use), you'd chop of the part where the rearaxle sits and have a new (longer) piece machined and then welded in...

Shortening, I have no idea..

Some one must know. There's a swingarm shortened to VDB specs in another post for sale.

The search engine works very well. All of your questions can be answered if you just take a little bit of time weeding through the results of your search. Alice racing is a good place to inquire though. Send them yours and some money, and they'll send you a shortened one. That's the way it's been done before. I'm not sure if they can accomodate your rmz requests though.
