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

Ducati Kaemna has done something similar based on the 1000ds engine, with a 999 swingarm and modified frame. Check them out:
