I spent a few hours browsing Google, looking for information on swingarm pivot widths. This is the list that resulted, sorted by length. The intent with this list is to help find swingarms which are easily adaptable to the XJ600 and ultimately, one with a 17" wheel that would be useable for a wheel conversion. Note that even though a swingarm may have similar pivot widths, swingarm pivot bolt diameter, swingarm length (pivot to axle) and shock mounting should also be considered.

The pivot width for the XJ600 (Seca II) is 8 11/16" or 220mm (with caps) and 8 7/16" or 215mm (without caps).

Here's my current list, sorted by swing arm pivot widths (width where the swingarm pivots in the frame). If you know additional pivot widths or have pivot bolt diameter information, post it up.
