No, you need fabricate plate as platform for rearset. To be open any rearset can be fit this way.
Is he not now at the point where it would have been cheaper / easier / better to just buy a 600RR?
This is not a discussion - are this reasonable or pricey. The main point - it's possible. What kind of benefits you can get - not much, except looks. I have ducati 749s, but in same time I'm fitting fuel injection to NC29. Are this reasonable? Not. Are the pricey? Yes. But this is funny... and interesting.. and I got experience I would never get simply riding the bike.

By the way. Engine takes from NC31 CB400SF as I see.

Fair enough, everyone likes a project. My CB-1 is a case in point. Honestly I would be much better of with a hornet but I don't want one.

The SF has a camchain up the middle, that engine does so you are right. It is detuned and lower tech so I would have hoped it was not one!
