Swing arm mod for Thruxton

Hi all, I have an 07 thruxton with the back fender bobbed off, and drag pipes that exit underneith the bike. This draws a lot of attention to the puny swing arm. Also, the only complaint that I have is a little lack of rigidity in the rear end. (This may be caused by the way the rear suspension attaches to the swing arm) I am curious to know if anyone out there has put a different swing arm on a thruxton? I would like to find something that is aluminum, and would provide a little more rigidity. Being that I am looking into getting new rear suspension very soon, It would obviously pay to take a new swing arm into consideration. Not to mention it would be a bad ass mod to see a nice fat aluminum swing arm on a thruxton. I would then chop the passenger foot peg mounts from the frame, to open up the space at the rear of the bike. Please let me know if you have any thoughts as to what swing arm may be an easy fit for my bike. I have the ins at a good machine shop, which I would love to take advantage of...
