I don't think the gpz550 motor had rubber bushings until 1984 ZX550 A.
I don't know of any frame you can buy, but plenty of people have modified the KZ550C frames into hardtails, choppers, and bobs. The gpz 550 motors fit into the ltd frames easily, but you will need to keep the oil cooler.
A standard KZ motor is better suited to that type of bike, though, so I would recommend a non-gpz motor, plus they are more plentiful, and probably in better condition.
