Yes, would be F2 then. Is there any way you could get it welded?. I think only a CB400 swing arm fits these bikes, unless someone on here knows different.

Not sure M.O.T. man would accept a repair to a swingarm.
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Might be worth seeing if DK have one, they break loads of imports, even if its an F1 part, you can grind the footrest brackets off before painting/coating.
