this guys put a Triumph sssa in a KZ1000. this is Adam’s build thread.

http://kzrider.com/forum/11-projects/348089-78-kz1000-makeover

pm him and he will give u the width at the swing arm at the axle. this will be your biggest challenge. can u weld and fab? if not it will cost a fortune to have it done.
find someone else with a vfr or duc arm and find out which 1 is the narrowest at the arm axle, or which is the closest fit to your honda . it will save a lot of work and expense, if u can find 1 that is close, preferable narrower rather than wider.

how do i upload a pic?

I've got a complete VFR sitting here that I was planned on parting out... Just in case you are interested. I have no idea what the stuff is worth tho. I will do some research.

Well, when a vehicle only weighs ~300lbs to start off with, 30-50 extra lbs is a big difference and from what I have read, the SSSA is significantly heavier than a standard 2SSA, due to all the extra reinforcement it takes to keep it from flexing.
