Kosman Racing still sells just such a kit. I'm having my Kosman kit welded onto my '78 KZ1000 frame shortly.

To see this kit already welded onto a frame, checkout elseed's second post at this link:

However, I can squeeze any two of the three top frame tubes with my hands such that both tubes deflect a few millimeters -- now that's a flexible frame! KZ1 Z1-900 KZ2

The diagonal across the frame from top right to lower left is considered optional, for monster torque (drag bike), but I said what the hell. No air box for the bike once you put that on there. '75 Z1B with mods
