I am working on a 1983 kz 440 bobber project and I was gonna buy a honda 750 vtwin to go in it and before i did does anyone know if the vtwin will fit in the 440 frame? just wondering if anyone has any experience doing this? I can beat the deal its a 2005 honda shadow 750 motor and hes only asking $500 as a complete turn key package. thanks for any advice!

Thanks,
Jason
