Sorry if I've confused you - the last set of pic's is correct for orientation. The tranny and diff, are next to the cockpit with the engine at the rearend. The axle is planned to set just behind the back of the engine (engine will be setting below axle level).

Tom you're absolutely correct- with the longer swingarm I had to drive past an obstacle by several inches before turning to avoid clipping the rear tires. Also getting high centered on hills isn't fun with the longer length. A more comfortable ride is all you get with length!!!
