Would the kz1000 engine fit into the zephyr 750c1 frame with minimal modification? If so Is there a motor mounting kit to make it work?

I'm the only person i know who has done this.
Only because everyone said it can't be done and a few had tried and failed.
It's not an easy fit.
The frame needs extensive modification, the lower frame rails removing, all the engine mounts remaking and then the engine will only fit in if it's built up in the frame with the bottom end bolted in first acting as a stressed member.
That's the simplified version of what has to be done but there's more to it than that.

I guess the short answer is "no" there isn't a kit  you will see many things that others have done but in the majority of cases it's a whole lot more than bolting it together !!
