I'm swapping the stock KZ400 arm for a 2010 ninja 250 swingarm and rear wheel. I've searched around and only people who have made rearsets for drum brake use. Are there any out there that will allow me to run a master cylinder and such for the ninja rear hydraulic disc?

What does the Ninja 250's look like?

I'm using an '04 GSXR600 set on my KZ650C2.
The brake light switch and master cylinder are attached on the backside of the bracket.
If you can find something similar, and be able to mount it up either on a bracket made and welded to the frame, or if you can drill holes two (or more) mounts into the frame as I did:

Yes. Make sure the peg flips up.

Yes.
I'm able to use the kickstart by raising the footpeg, or removing the clip and pin and taking the peg off.
I use the electric starter 99% of the time. kick is only back up in my case.

Thanks for all the info guys! Also since the ninja wheel I'm using has a 520 sprocket I'm looking for a 520 16 tooth front sprocket. Are the sprockets interchangeable for the 750 twin and 750 four cylinder bikes? I was also told that the kz750 and 400 twins had the same splines.

I think this might be an old thread but what did you do for suspension ? The ninja 250 looks like it one takes a solo shock. Thanks
