ZX12-R cradle

Been looking at the ZX12-R lump i have and trying to work out a cradle design.

Looking at Hellfire's which is more than likely the design we will go with but just wanted to check something out.

The cradle as far as i can work out only has 1 pickup point with the other point below being held from mounts on the chassis and the one on the exhaust side also directly onto the chassis.

My question is how easy is it to get the engine in and out with just one pickup point i can imagine that it would sort of swing if not tightened up or even if it was would still move.

Im probably being stupid and you probably cant work out what im going on about but for example the R1 cradle designs hold the engine in the exact position it sits in the chassis .

Ive always been interested in seeing some pics of your build G.Man but your archive is always empty !

Your cradle no doubt has been supplied by MNR so will be a X type design would be great if you could show us some pics.
