Rocker swingarm

Is it possible to put a rocker swingarm on any other softail.What i mean is it the same width at the pivot.

You can mount any swingarm you want but it'll involve modifications obviously because you're going with a wider swingarm. Doesnt matter if you use the one from the rocker or any custom one.

I realize ill have to change some things I just didnt know if the frame on a rocker was the same as the rest of the softails.

The only thing I could find out about is that the inner primary is differnt it a 1/4" out further than a wide tire softail. I would also think that the trans mount is over the same distance or maybe not. I had a line on a used swingarm off a Rocker and could'nt find out any real answers. I have since passed it up. I think next winter I may try it or just give up on it and get a Heartland 250 kit.
