it will bold right in. only issue is back rear upper mount. most people just dont use it. or get creative and make something.

also, just fyi the charging systems are different so if you do that, use an rd400 reg rectifier if you are using stock parts.

Reminds me of the time I went to look at a bike advertised as a RD400. I get there and it was a RD400 with a R5 motor in it. I passed.
