Default Swingarm modify for 250 tire? Thread?

Hello.
I am gathering info for my project,2003 Night Train.
Has anyone customised the stock softail swingarm for a 8 1/2" wheel with a 250 tire?

Is it possible, or do I have to build a new one?

Any discussions regarding this anywhere?


Thanks

hawg halters has a nice looking 240/250 kit...the stock swingarm would take some serious cutting and widen out to fit a 250..I got mine custom built, but found hawg halters after i ordered mine.
