Re: Wider wheel and swingarm?
you can fit a wider wheel in the std swingarm. 5.5 inch off a 98 model cbr900rr fireblade. 5 spoke wheel. lathe down the 900rr sprocket carrier and make some new spacers. you'll only have a few mm in the end to play with. its doable, been done. my bike is proof. lathe the sprocket carrier to suit the 400 sprockets aswell 
change the studs to bolts and obviously new wheel bearings to suit the 400 axle. use the std 400 spacer for the right hand side.
