I will measure mine and get back
 
You will need the proper rear wheel spacers, reducer bushings at the swing-arm pivot as well as proper mounting on the top shock slide to line it all up properly.

I did buy the spacer kit from katman. the shock mounts i had made up. right now it seems my offset sprocket is off my a couple MM's. I am having the shock tabs welded this week so I can get this thing on the ground and check for wheel center front to back. Still thinking that a 170 tire is the only way to go for piece of mind. OR, do i just let the chain take off the side of the tire as needed while riding? I will also plan on bracing the frame at the rear as described on katmans site. Shocks have still yet to be purchased. I want the Ohlins because I want ohlins, and the other quality shocks out there are either more expensive or not as nice. After i get all this done, THEN i can concentrate on the rear brake master. I am thinking about going with a rea master from a Ducati 749/848. It is very compact and has a reverse action pedal. kinda trick.

remember the mount on the chain side needs to be out just a bit for the Ohlins shock spring to clear the chain

With all the variations, I would install the arm without shock mounts, get the wheels centered and then look at where the rear mounts need to be to get the proper ride height and clearance.
