Looks like a north/south fitment will clear everything fairly easily!

 

With the motor completely free, I began to look at fitment options

 

I got the bike home and immediately started to tear it down, taking extra care to label all the wires.

 

I had the opportunity to pick up this zzr600 that had been in an accident for $400. It was in running condition minus a destroyed radiator and a slightly bent exhaust manifold. I jumped on the deal, figuring this would make a solid power plant.
