How much longer does it need to be?  If 3/4 of an inch would do it, maybe you could drill the "foot" in a couple of places & bolt something light/strong on?

If you did weld a chunk in, why would that be a problem? Or replace the "leg" itself, by taking a length of light chain & welding the links?

Some paint &Woopeee! You gots it.

off an intruder 800 did you say?  hmmmm.
i really like the looks of that bike . hmmmm.
might just check ebay!

Yes,... off a Suzuki Intruder 800...

Comfortable,..... soaks up pot holes and RR crossings...
Also, better handling in the twisties,... especially if the road is not perfect...  more suspension in the rear, gives better rear tire contact over bumps.
Raising the rear, also slightly reduces front rake, and increases front/rear weight ratio... and makes steering quicker, and front tire more sure....

Highly recommended,... if you like the look...

One thing,.... although the Intruder is a much heavier bike,... these shocks are plush,... I weigh 150lbs and they are good for me... I get about 1" sag when I sit on her... if you want more suspension for increased two up riding capacity, or are 200lbs+, you should probably look elsewhere...

Here's a view of the difference,... (from back when she was red)....
Note the angle of the muffler to the swingarm... no interference there, but you can see the difference...
also note the front fork rake....
it goes from a cruiser, to more like a standard...
