 It's not that hard,i'm in the process of installing mags from rd400 in the back and xs750 in the front.I bought different bearings,so i can keep my CB shafts.I will have to make new spacers but that about it.Take a look,

I've seen that done before on a 550, anything can be done if you're willing to put the thought, money, and maybe a litle trial and error into it.
