Default K7 GSXR600 Swing arm on a Curvy

My dad's winter project is to put a K7 GSXR 600/750 swing arm on the Curvy(to match the front end).
Have bought the swing arm and shock linkage, and awaiting delivery.
The point of this post is to ask if anyone has access to their swing arm pivot points at the moment, and can post the measurements.

Can't find any posts about this conversion, so will be making it up as we go along.

Thanks
Mike

I think Berlin tried a K1 600 swing arm with a Curvy frame.
Its doable in theroy, with some machining. I don't know how far he got as he's got a bit on atm

Length of the swing arm pivot tube is 226cm.

Hope that helps
