That's quite interesting that ... not for a 996 (looks ugly) but I am thinking about doing a project with a Multistrada engine / 996 chassis and I would want the late 749/999 swingarm. Looks like it could be a straightforward fit then.

Does anybody know how straightforward or not the fit would be around the swingarm mounting points?
Multistrada engine should be OK to fit with the 748/996 frame (as it uses pretty much the same swinger as standard)
I don't know though how a 749/999 swinger would fit in a 748/999 frame though.

I would assume that much complexity would be thrown in around the exhaust though. Most definitely a custom jobbie that would have to be.

Was also considering the Aprilia Mille swingarm. Does anybody know how straighforward the fit would be with one of those?? I would think that the whole suspension linkage would be affected so not too keen on the option anymore
