kz900 motor in a kz650 chassis?

Was wondering if anybody has done it and what is involved? Talking about drag bike useage - chassis has a widened and lengthed swingarm with a 5.5 slick mounted (530 chain clears tire by 1/4")

Was wondering about motor mounts and chain position?

Welcome.
Been done by a few. It's a tight fit. What's involved I can't remember, but try a search.

Here's some pix:

Just saw your pic in the gallery, nice.
What sort of times did you get at the Drag?

This thread might suddenly become very relevant for me...

Still tuning it, but so far 11.15 @ 126 MPH. I think I might be able to get it into the mid to low 10's - that is the goal. Think the small displacement is holding me back so I am looking to put a 900 motor in it - more hot rodding parts avaliable and able to go up to 1500cc, but I think 1260 should be enough !
