I don't think you're going to find a "kit" for that. Not to say it can't be done but there is a good bit of engineering needed to do suspension swaps and have them be safe and handle correctly. For instance on my Suzuki GS1000 I can modify a Bandit 1250 rear suspension, tire, and brake setup to fit by shaving the swingarm pivot, having custom bushings, and shock mounts machined. Swing arm length and angle are critical for proper traction, and are tied to the power output of the motor, the swingarm pivot location, and front end geometry. Id suggest you do some reading on the physics associated with motorcycle design to determine if it is something you really want to delve into.
