upload your pictures on a hosting site (photobucket or some such thing.) then you can just copy the link for each picture and paste it here. Works like a charm and your no longer worrying about what size your picture is!

Any details on the swing arm and your mono shock?

yeah what do you require

I used a 1994 cbr600 fn  swingarm and pivot bolt.
rear shock from cbr 600 fn 
 it will not fit CB 550 K  without a slight modification   that is a slight thinner spacer on the right hand side swingarm   or cut it down if you are good with hacksaw. and take off 2mm.

the pivot bolt holes in the frame are 14mm  600 swingarm pivot bolt 15mm 
again where the pivot bolt goes throught the frame   on the outsides you nee to trim the flanges down.  and get a longer bolt   approx  330mm long  x 15mm thick 

then where centre stand mounts  you need to for a mount for the dog bone linkage
