If you use wire wheels on the FZR, they need to be 22" Gold Wire Wheels and the seat cover needs to be Leopard skin.... ha!

I don't think it would be a good look. YG has some on some vintage bikes and they look fine.

I think you have it wrong though.. the cheetah print goes a little better... YG's bike is a vintage though correct...

As long as you don't mind doing some modification to the wheel or swinger, Gixxer and CBR600 wheels can be made to fit. Thus, a swingarm swap would not be necessary.
FZR400 (1WG): Purchased a perfectly good FZR400 with Yoshimura slip-on/EXUP, Yosh jet kit, Factory ignition advance, Racetech springs and emulators. It even had great bodywork. Like some diseased maniac I had to mess with everything good about that bike. Well, at least I have better brakes now.

FZR400RR (3TJ):Yeah, it's pink.
