I am considering converting my Lightning Long into a Firebolt/Lightning hybrid. Before I go through all the ordering process, please let me know what you guys think of this "mock-up". I have also thought of just trading for a Firebolt, but I don't know what I want to do. I guess I could leave well enough alone and just ride the hell out of my Lightning. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!  | ||

Looks nice. I believe some one was selling one in the classifieds not too long ago? It's been done before. Do a search. Probably a ton of threads on it. Good luck. | ||

If you like the more aggressive riding position and looks....Go for it. We can't tell you what will or won't make you happy  It is a functional change, and does change the overall character of the bike, if that's what you wanted to know. Also it is much easier to put the r fairing on the s than the s front on the r. There are parts lists for the conversion somewhere, possibly KV | ||

Who really cares about looks... as long as your are satisfied. | ||

Honda just copied the style for their 800cc MotoGP machine so why not?  | ||

A friend told me it would look better with the "cheese grater" still intact so I mocked these up to see. What do you guys think now? Lightning Bolt Ss  } | ||

Yeah, I kinda want to do the same thing, but am having trouble locating the subframe and seat. Is this all that I will need to turn my firebolt into this monster above? Or is there more than just subframe? Mark |
