Default Swing arm help

I've got a 1340 evo in a planet engineering frame
And think it's got a sportster swing arm on it
I'm after changing it to an alloy mono shock 1 and am looking to see if anybody knows some measurements so I know what I'm looking for thanks

There was a gentleman here that was undertaking a similar monoshock Buell swingarm modification but I haven't seen any updates. Perhaps he will chime in with some info for you...

Ah, found it:

You could PM him to see what his thoughts are, and to hear about any progress he's made on the modification.
