I have no knowledge of the 400 frames, but if you're going to go to the trouble of a monoshock set up, you might as well go with a newer aluminum swingarm. One possible stumbling block will be whether or not you need an offset sprocket, and if anyone makes on for the 400...

So that's approx 19mm narrower than the liter Kz. If you don't get any other responses here, cruise/search the projects section for swingarm widths on various builds. I can tell you a Triumph Speed Triple single sided swingarm is 285mm wide. Most guys here use swingarms that don't require frame widening. Perhaps the 650s have a narrower frame than the 900/1000s, and lots of guys mod them....Perhaps start looking there
