Not straight swop but anything can be made to fit anything with ingenuity and determination.

Z1000J2 somewhat modified!

If you look at both mine and Davido's builds the answer is yes but it needs to be "widened" if you go this route you will also need to modify a seat as there isn't anything "off the shelf" that will fit.

EDIT: missed the 750 part - who knows ??

Thanks all! Just something I'm lookin at, the price was right, we'll see what we got. A guy could probably use styrofoam to mold one, then fiberglass, eh?
