The zx14 weighs 269kg
The KZ1300 weighs 314kg
I would think the front end from either the Hya or the ZX14 would be fine. Might have to change out the spring but the weight difference is only 45 kg's which is shared front and rear so weight on the front end difference maybe 30 kg's? And a little more air in the front can make a big difference
Then there's Robert Bolduc's ZRX1200R with a KZ1300 transplant. Drop dead georgeous !!

I fitted a ZZR 1100 (ZX-11) front end about 20 years ago. The forks had to be extended by about six inches using sleeves clamped at both ends & I had a one-off billet ally bottom yoke made. The steering stem slotted straight in from memory. The original ZZR 1100 4-pot calipers were more than adequate in hauling the 13's 300kg up, but I later went the whole hog & fitted some bespoke Pretech 6-pots.
