    That is a good question!
    I know the sub frames are completely different but that is where you need to start by adapting the 6th gen subframe and then hang everything on it. I can get you some pictures of my sub frame when I get back home this weekend so you can compare it to the 5th gen. There may be some pctures in the gallery that could help.
    It would require relocation of a few items like the rear brake reservoir and the RR unit as well as the battery and ecu etc but with some creativity and craftsmanship I would think that it could be done.

    I think that vfrd bike was a 4th gen with the 6g tail. It certainly can be done with some work.
