Swingarm figment

What the difference between a gsx750et swingarm and one from a 1100 Kat?

steel round tube vs. aluminium square(-ish) tube..
750/1100 Kat same as 1100EX/ET btw..

Are the 750et and the 1100 Kat swingarms the same length and width?

width of the steel round tube and aluminium box section swingarms is the same at the pivot point.. so they can be swapped easily.. BUT if I recall correctly the pivot spindle diameters are different (15mm on 1100/Kat, ??mm on 750..)
this can be fixed by fitting the frame-correct bearing bushes though..

not sure about the swingarm length though.. going by the general rule 1100's often have a larger wheelbase, the 1100/Kat swingarm is probably a bit longer..
