Re: z1000 engine swap
i think engine covers were different. that was about it. i dont see why now, as long as you got the ecu and keys and stuff.

Re: z1000 engine swap
unless you have the red kawa key, you cant get anymore cut, i remember talking to a guy from honda about the price of replacing the key if you lose it, it aint cheap, you have to buy a whole new ignition barrel etc and he said it costs about 2200 dollars, which aint cool
sorry for the bad news

Re: z1000 engine swap
Why do you need the key for the new engine? can't you use your existing ignition? fits tanks & seat too. Would a zx10 engine fit?
