1993 to 2001 is the 'Hoop' or 888 style frame. There are NO easy single-sided swingarm conversions out there. The Febur 'kit' is sometimes listed as a direct fit, but they're a complete pregnant dog to make work and I've only seen 1 bike with a working Febur arm on it.
If your bike was a 2002 to 2008, there are bolt-on arms available.
hi thanks for the reply its a 2001 year make.would a 749 arm fit easily ?
Nope.
If you want something different, or stronger, or lighter, or longer, or more rigid, etc,
consider Metmachex and JMC. They make replacement swingarms for the DSS Monsters of old, and Metmachex makes a standard replacement as well as a braced version, both available with eccentric axle adjusters. Itsa very nice.
Additionally, you can still get a fancy hoop from the likes of Style and Performance if you were so inclined.
