    Doesn't look compatible to me.
    Even if it did fit, mono-shock swingarms are typically longer as the shock nestles between the wheel and the swingarm pivot.
    Unless you're going for the drag racer/hill-climber look, it's not going to look very good.
    An XJ900 Diversion wheel can be fit to your existing swingarm and a 150 wide tire fitted.
    @Mezzmo has videos showing this.

    Pivot width is different and the ‘shaft/cross joint is in the way
