I installed a 2004 GSXR swingarm in my 77 GS750 frame. I took a grinder to the inside of the swingarm bosses in the frame making sure to grind from both sides. It fits fine. Grind a little at a time. However, I do not know the differences you're dealing with...Current:

I've been watching this. I don't remember mine needing that much. It's been a long time but I just put one side roughly in place then pried the other side apart with a screwdriver between the end cap and frame while pushing that side in place. Then a punch to line up bolt hole. How much more space is yours needing?1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100

Is it you are just trying to compress the spring to allow the piston enough vertical travel to go over the mount? If so, maybe a coil spring compressor at your local autozone. If it's not too big.
Otherwise some threaded rod. couple of nuts and washers or metal bar, you could make one.
Or, the tabs are not spread wide enough to allow it to go over the bushing? and you need to spread it's ears?
