Welcome to KZR! Click the link in my signature for a similar project. I fitted a mono shock GSXR 750 swinger to my 78 KZ1000.

It's approximately 10 3/8 at the axle. It's hard to get an accurate measurement because I have the wheel on. That swing arm seems wider than what the ZX10 would have been as there is still about 1/2" gap with the caliper bracket on. Or maybe they ran a spacer I don't have. The swingarm is off an 03 ZX6 if that helps.
I'm evaluating the mono shock off the ZX10R. I know I said dual shocks, pay no attention to my ADD ramblings. Anyways, I noticed the link mount is quite offset on the swingarm, but the pivot would almost bolt up to the center stand mount.

The ltd had a rear disc with mastercylinder mounted up by right rear shock,a 1 off thing for 76 900ltd model.
A kz will have an A in serial number on steering head,Ltd should have a B.
Any pictures?
This kz900 is so heavily modified, it has non-stock wheels, master cylinders, footpegs, rear shocks, it's why I'm putting it back to stock, it's a sacrilege to have it this way, I'll try to get photos up here. The frame number is z1f-116xxx, and the final three 'xxx' are numbers, so because there is no 'B' in the frame number, I reckon based on your info there Patton, and thanks for that, I'm putting my money that it is a 1976 kz900-A4 bike. It's so dang heavily modified though, he put a lot of LTD-ish bits on it, it has what look to me like wire wheels with aluminum rims, like off the kz1000 CSR bike of the early 1980s, and dual disc front brakes and again, a CSR-ish back wire wheel with aluminum rim and disc brake, the swingarm is square, oh my gosh. Sacrilege, we're going back in time on this one, shortly.

Finally got the swingarm in proper .
Large diameter pivot tube interfered with the rear of the crankcases so had to come up with a better solution than my original effort with the files for the dry build.
so cut out a neat section and pressed in an alloy sleeve to seal it back up
Much better looking and also fitted a grease nipple while i was at it
Next up was the frame pivot bolt which now looked manky compared to the fresh powder coat so machined the head and threads off and tapped up the center to take the couple of stainless bolts and washers i turned up.
Made the threads on the bolt for the head end of the pivot a "squeaky fit" and used a touch of thread lock as lube.
Can't see that ever coming out.
Now on to the shock and linkage.
Refurbed the rocker arm and shock and made up some adjustable tie bars to get the bike sitting just right once completed
Now the swingarm bolt won't let the side down
Also got the brass fittings to finish off the oil cooler take offs.
They are slightly larger internal diameter than the "proper" AN8 fittings so will be easily up to the job
All fitted after a quick coat of paint

Also the front end off the same bike, it includes forke tubes, trees, axle and bars, swing arm and shock For $150
I will be doing a front end swap on my 77 kz650b1 with it. (at least that's the plan)
I still have to find if I can get conversion bearings or if I need to swap the stems out but that's after I'm done posting.
I do have one question on swing arm, is this something I can use? I know I will need a custom spacers and maybe take off a little off edges on pivot to fit in my 650? Or ? I don't have it so I can't do any pre-measuring yet.
I also know this is mono shock and I might go that rout if I feel comfortable with my skills, but most likely will mount tabs like everyone else. Any advise is good by me! Should I by it or keep looking on for somthing else?
Leon Holmes does swingarms for 1000"s in his sleep just sayin

So I picked up the CBR swingarm today. It to is not asymmetrical just like the gsxr swingarm. The brace is though
Attachment cbrcut.jpg not found
So off comes the brace
Attachment cbrbrace.jpg not found
GSXR swingarm gets flipped right side up, and CBR brace is mocked up on the bottom. Looks like lots of chain clearance. I do want to get a proper pitch/offset front sprocket, make up bushing for pivit, adjust chain slack, just to make sure nothing is going to rub.
