fitting a 'xr swingarm to a gs frame

[86gs]

Okay. I have a Canadian-model '86 gs750 (same as gs700).I have a line on a late nineties gsxr600 rear end (swingarm,shock,wheel,etc).I would like to know if anyone would know the width of the frame at the pivot point. The seller says the width of the swing arm is 9 1/4". ???Too wide?
I'm not affraid of 'massaging' things to make this fit,but more head-ache than it's worth?
BTW, my bike is currently 2hrs.away,or I'd measure it up for myself-save me a drive,please!

The front pivot tube on a srad swingarm is very huge in diameter.
I would try to get the distance between the swingarm pivot bolt holes and the rear bolts on the crankcase.For the width it should be close to your bike.You can PM djee here, he's fitting a 1991 gsxr swingarm on is gs750 (1985??).He may have the measure you need.

Looks like it's pretty close to 8 3/4".
