Lots of build here do that and use NK engineering. Have a bit of a look at the builds section and NK's site.
Builds on my site have them in too, for LC and YPVS.

Please be advised that fitting an RGV arm to your LC will ruin the looks and will automatically enrol you into the clitoris club (every c*nt's got one!)
Disclaimer: This advice has been offered free of charge and is my opinion only! It's your bike so what you do with it is entirely up to you.
PS, I was joking a little so please don't take this seriously, just that I feel the RGV thing has been done to death and parts are also bloody expensive because of this. It would be great to see something different!

Having built one in the mid noughties I can say in my opinion it ruins the looks ruins the handling at isn’t anything to write home about for the cost you’d be better following dusty lead and build a bike with a metmachex rear arm fit a wider rear wheel and if you must fit upside down forks. Have a look in the builds section.

Now I like the longer rear end !
A standard LC looks like it has had a rear end shunt
That is my opnion only LOL
Don't like 3 spokes on LC's either !

Metmachex aren’t anymore than buying an rgv and then getting Kimber to do it circa £700 ish spondon no longer about now if you want sexy sexy go onto Norbo’s site and look at the new banana double tube swing arm again about £700. Can’t remember who makes them someone will come along and tell you. Loads of ideas on here for every taste, good bad and indifferent

Norbo is a strange chap with a liking for wearing skirts and an addiction to sniffing exhaust pipes, he has titanium nipple rings and speaks in a strange eez millands accent me duck And he drives a big green tank. He also owns the shop and this forum either contact him via the shop or by pm (private message)

For comparison, regarding looks/length, here is an Rgv Vj22 "P" arm in an Lc; DSCN3773 by dusty miller, on Flickr Against a Metmachex Lc/Rgv wheel swingarm; 20180205_144858 by dusty miller, on Flickr Rgv arm is approx. 4 inches longer, the Metmachex keeps standard Lc wheelbase. An Lc/Rgv arm from Metmachex is approx. £730 delivered. Dusty
