SSS and tail swap

So I've been thinking about this for a while now and am thinking about finally doing it since I'm getting knee surgery on Friday and won't be riding for a while. I want to swap on a SSS as well as a 6th Gen VFR800 tail with undertail exhaust so the can on the open side doesn't clutter the look. I'll be fabricating a complete header and everything right up to the cans out of 1 3/4" SS tubing so it'll be slightly larger. I'll also be building a subframe to fit the tail and lighten the *** up a little. My question is, does anyone know if the swingarm from the 6th Gen VFR800 will work? If not I can get the swingarm components from an earlier bike but I have an opportunity to get everything for a good price from an 08 VFR and would rather do that if possible.

From what I have read the newest gen swingarms hasn't got a forked pivot mount and won't work... But don't trust me on that, research it...

102dals is an unknown quantity at this point
The 6th gen swingarms are significantly longer than ours. 5th gen are only slightly longer, and supposed fit better.
I, too, am getting ready to go this route.
