Can be done but I would suggest you check with HPN Motorradtechnik GmbH in Germany. The HPN solution will be a big bucks arrangement but worth it for every last cent you will fork out.
You can do this yourself as well but it will be more of a compromise than a real improvement over the para-lever suspension.
HPN also offer a two arm version based on the mono lever swing arm as you will have to replace the final drive and rear wheel in any case. You will have to send them your frame sub frame and centre stand and you will have to consider new front forks as well. The extended swing arm option will allow you to use the existing battery box.
As for fitting the para lever swing arm to the G/S frame. Not possible unless if you want to cut the frame apart and this can become tricky and dangerous if not done correctly. Klaus at HPN told me they have tried to this in the past but found that the cost was not justifying the purpose. It is cheaper to find the right frame.
