The overall length of the arm is slightly longer but the eccentric adjusters are set further back in the swing arm, if some one buys one they will need a new drive chain or extend their existing drive chain.
I have put further information on eBay item no: 331082481601

Peanut,
I am selling them at £300 or $500 (JMC cost £650 when in production) plus £25 postage in the UK, or pick up no postage cost
they were a bit more expensive to create than I thought I will only use stainless steel 304 or 316 or 6061 grade aluminium.
The rear pivot bearings are replaced with new and the pivot tube is replaced with 304 stainless tube.
A new 304 stainless steel rear wheel spindle has to be manufactured due to the new swing arm being wider at the point were it fits, these were expensive to manufacture
2 x CNC produced aluminium saddle mounts were needed to seat the base of the rear shocks (The donor swing arm was a mono shock swing arm) the welding of the aluminium saddles to suit the rear shocks was done professionally
I have put them on eBay as I am getting a lot of interest eBay item no; 331082481601

I see you got a brake pivot bar!
18" rear 19" front with Avon Distanza, I would not normally buy Avon's but I had a friends Triumph Tiger for a day and they were the tyres he had on.
I really liked the way they performed in particular as I did a couple of miles green laneing in Derbyshire, I hope he does not read this as he would kill me
. (sorry Declan)Not the cheapest tyres but she has to have decent pair of boots
