YZF600 Swingarm would require the least amount of work. PIMPMYFZR has one on his 600 with 180 tire. You're normally NOT supposed to run a 180 tire on that rim and shouldn't go bigger than a 170 but he proved that rule. You could also do what ABS did with the 600 he used to have and go with a YZF Swing arm and 99 R6 rear wheel and brake setup. A few people have done a complete rear end swap to an R6....Look at all the stickies that are at the top of the Hybrid Subforum

As far as the bodywork? The amount of fab work needed depends on how you go about doing it. There really isn't an "easy" way to do that stuff.

Both have been done. Spyder had that swingarm on his 89 FZR streetfighter. The Tail has been done a lot too but you'll need the seats as well and you'll need to do a YZF tank swap too. Plenty of people here have done it to provide good info on it. As a matter of fact 95FZR600 (aka Mark from GA) has done all of those to his 95 600. Might wanna PM him.

i just finished the 05 R6 tail swap about a month ago and a lot of welding is required, so I hope you can weld or have a buddy that will do it for you. The 99 - 02 R6 tail would be easier. But the 03 - 05 looks 10 times better i think.
