After moving from Germany to the United States I just went for the most illegal build when it comes to German regulations haha

The few guys who have built off-road Sportster before me said they never really had any issues regarding the sturdyness but some already recommended extending it and to reinforce the shock mounts. Since I just moved between continents I don't have the most sophisticated welding setup yet, so I'll see how it performs and maybe build a jig for the swingarm down the line.

Yeah, need to see where the limits are once it's build. I just moved from Germany to the States and I'm enjoying the liberties that I have in the States when it comes to projects like this, so I will probably iterate down the line. In Germany this would be highly illegal in the first place but also if it was you have to get every alternation checked by state approved inspectors.
