Next issue: single shock or keeping the twins? Keep the twins and you need to mount brackets on the swing arm for the shock mounts. If you go single-shock you'll need to measure and fashion a top mounting bracket for the top of the single shock...likely in the area of your battery box.
Next issue: if you're going to keep the wide wheel you'll need to have an off-set front sprocket and if it's a 5.5" wheel (or wider) the off-set will likely have to be off-set enough to require an out-board bearing support plate that will support the off-side of the sprocket. If you go with a 5" wheel you can get away with an off-set sprocket only. This will also be an issue that will allow (neccessitate) you convert to 530 or a 520 chain/sprocket set-up.
Next issue: use the ZX rear-sets so that you have minimal fuss with the routing of your new rear-disc brake set up. Either bolt a rectangular plate to your frame in the "foot peg" area and then drill-and-tap the plate for your new rear-sets.
Lots to do; but it all lines up, and many here have done the exact thing you are attempting. Good luck. "Axe" questions. Welcome!
