so I have a couple options for a swing arm on a project that I am starting, I picked up a yz600 and SECA II both are mono-shocked, the big question is how wide is the stock xs swing arm at the pivot?? the two that I have are 9.5'' at the outside of the YZ600 and the SECA is 8 7/8'' how much milling would have to be done to get these to fit?? also what is the overall length of the stock XS swing arm?? The YZ is 21.25'' from center of the pivot to the axle, the seca is the same. thanks for all your help
