3en2 Swinging arms

Hi all,apologies if this topic has already been discussed but can find no record of it in forums!
Will a 3en2 swinging arm fit into a 3en1 frame without modification and is there any consequences to this?
Yes, before I get slated here.I do realise that the later models 17" wheel swingers are the way to go but could do without the modification hassles!.
The reason I ask is purely for asthetic reasons as I am searching for a en2 which as you know has the round headlights and Deltabox swinger and this would enlarge my options somewhat!
If anyone has a bike that fits the above description please do not hesitate to reply.
Many thanks,Bill.

There's a few more things the 3EN2 has over the EN1 - the front end has 41mm forks, clipons below the headstock and 298mm discs, the 3EN1 is 38mm forks and 285mm disks).
As far as I know th 3en2 frame is very similar to the 3en1 (there's a small bar from the subframe mount on the 1) so I'd say the swingarm should bolt in. You can use the R6 (red spring) shock with this arm too but you need to change the dogbones.

Thanks for the info Evilchicken0,looks like that plan failed then as clip ons above yokes wont fit the bill !
Have posted in the classified section for 3en2 but seems mostly Honda orientated.I take it they initiated the site originally.
I am watching the usual auction sites for this model but suitable ones seem to be quite rare.
