Maybe I just need to find a crowd that's more in tune with getting their bike to perform better than HDF members are used to.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm being a dick, but I had a pretty specific question and the only responses I've gotten are to do something different from what I want, and that's not helpful in the least

I doubt if your GSXR forks are a direct swap and it seems naive to expect to find a cheap swingarm that will be. There is a custom replacement to do that, as you already know! I suggest you remove your current swingarm and visit a few bike scrapyards with it, to see what you can come up with.
