Default Aluminum Swingarm??

Does anyone know of anywhere, where u can buy an aluminum swingarm for the DS650? Preferably a -1 swingarm...
I know they will be on the 04's but i would like one before that. Can anyone help me out?
Also is there anyone that makes frames for DS650's?

Thank you very much
Rob

Gary at TVI power sports( oregon 503-648-1254) build aluminium swing arms for the DS - I believe he'll build any length you want.
