    It depends on what you call fits...

    You can fit one but you generally have to grind down a bit of your frame and unless you have a nice new shock it could hit the fuel tap when going over bumps or anything else that compresses the rear shock a lot.

    You also have to drop one side of the engine out when you want to fit and remove it. There's also quite a lot of technique involved in getting the stub in the right place so it slots in.

    Depends on how tuned your bike is and how good you are at setting bikes up.

    I cut my 59 to fit the typhoon, i cut the rear cone/silencer off and rotated it inwards so it cleared the petrol tap. Also the 59 gave a flat power curve compaired to the 55.
