I thought all those were photoshops still. I think it would require some fabbing to the tail section's upper mounting points. Looks like they are in a different position than on the XB. There are enough motivated people around someone will do it.

I think so. Perhaps court or an anon could say if that is the case.

A very small difference was noted late last year.
Key orientation is off by 90˚ btw the two.

I don't know of any other diff, but haven't tried swapping.
I know the top airbox and seats are a straight swap.

it will fit. thats whats on the back of my 1125. a tail off of one of my xb's. only problems are that you have to trim the bottom front mounting tabs as they will hit the footpeg mounts a bit and not allow the holes to line up.

the you also have to cut a new notch in the hole for the pillion lock as the lock cylinder sits turned a different direction on the 1125 then it does on the firebolts. very simple fixes.
