swing arm swap help

I'm in the middle of a project bike I'm working on. I rescued an 85 FJ1100 from the back side of a garage. I'm in the process of turning it into a rat racer/street fighter and I'm looking into "upgrading" the swing arm.

I found a swing arm off a 99-00 R1 and also one from a 04-06 R1 at a salvage yard.

I know there would be a little modification to mount the suspension end of things, but what my main concern is the demensions of the pivot point end of the swing arms and the pivot pin and bushing.

Are they compatable?..

I don't want to go on a goose hunt for a swing arm if this is not going to be a minor mod compatable switch.
