Brake Torque Link

Here's the linkage
From under the swingarm
Here's the GS mount:
If I try to mount the torque link to the GS mount, it's dangerously close to the rear tire but could work temporarily. i'm thinking one of my better options is to have a bracket welded to the bottom of the swingarm.. Does anyone have a suggestion? Previous solutions?
Cheers,
Kyle

It is probably redundit, but I like having a secure anchor for the braking torque that's there.

What size tire are you running? I have a 140/70-18 on mine and have plenty of room.
Do you have a Disk brake setup? The tire clearance comes into question when I try to mount to the inside of the stock GS mount while using the KZ drum brake.. I am going to have to weld to the bottom of the swingarm in order to fit the torque link properly.. i'm running the pizza cutter stock size tire.
