Not heard of it done and seeing as you have all the bits, I recon your probably best placed to answer the queston.

Would be interested if it can be done but modern engines tend to be a little smaller than the the older stuff.

Anyone put a Zephyr engine in a Z1000?

Now this has got me thinking.....

How about a Zephyr 750 engine in a Z9...they are definitely the best looking Zephyr engine and should fit nicely.......

Yet another project for the future :wink:

The 750 zephyr engine fits in the Z650 so does the swing arm and complete front end, I did toy with the idea of building a Z650 with zephyr running gear but there seems to be less 750 zephyrs about than Z650's so future rarity value stopped me. :D

My Roadracer project is a z9 motor in a 750 zeph frame so chunking one in an 1100 chassis should be easy.

Ah now this is the info I wanted to hear, I was a bit wary whether it would fit, to me the zeph 11 engine looks bigger than my Z1000. It's gonna be a while before I do it but I'll let you guys know how I get on with it, thanks to all the replies, $tevie.
