looks like you could rework it..cut the upright "riser" part of it off and rework it to fit your tube..my Z looks about the same as yours, my perch is right at the top the tube, its going to be plenty low..

What spring did u use and Whats the distance between your frame rails

Well it shouldn't but you could always do the rear of your frame like I did mine - Mine is wider in the rear than the rest

A lot of your answers are right in the mock up. What looks good to you?
I like long radius rods but mock them up and stand back.
The proportions are the difference between clunky looking and drop dead killer.
