The front end won't be a big deal; check in other places (in "Projects" ) for the hot set-up on the dos and don'ts. I think you'll have a problem making the swing-arm work b/c the ZX7 swing arm widens out very abruptly from the swing-arm pivot...meaning, the arm will likely be narrow enough at the pivot, but I think the arm itself will 'foul' the frame before the swing-arm pivot hole will be able to line up with the frame pivot hole. :angry:

If anybody has an expedient way around that one I'm all ears.:huh:
