There are places that sell kits just for this. They come with the tubing all bent, just weld it on.
They significantly stiffen the SA without adding a ton of weight.
There are places that you send in your SA and they weld on the pieces as well as lengthening the SA.

I've cut up and saved lots of the tubing from a couple no-paperwork parts bike frames I acquired over the last few years. In particular, the loop over the rear fender looks like the perfect basis for a homemade swingarm brace. Bending some tubing into a 180° loop like that would be my greatest obstacle in building one of these I think.
