Said to hell with it! Ran into so many problems. Just ordered an 03 ZX-6R swinger that I'll modify for dual shocks and shorten up a bit.

leon

Not sure which center bushing you're talking about. All I had to do was trim the frame about 1\4" where the swingarm mounts, then bore out the ZX6R swingarm bolt so the KZ bolt fit inside of it and bolt her up.
