i'm sure someone has done it...or at least knows what to do. for the record i'm not that interested in the firebolt select seat, i want to be able to slide more rearward on the bike and get the comfort of the cityx seat. i'm assuming rear subframe and seat would do it....am i right?? |

There are five or six of us that have put the S sub frame on our Rs. This will have to be done if you want to mount an S seat of any kind. It is a very easy swap. |

I just checked your profile and noticed you live close by. I'm in DC and you are welcome to stop by and check mine out to see what the swap entails. |

thanks for the offer! anything specific or major other than the subframes??...i dont really trust the dealer to know what i want to do or why. i feel like i need to go in there with as much info as possible on what to order. |

It's really easy to do yourself. I suggest soliciting a trade with another badwebber. There are plenty that want the R tail on their S. You will need the entire sub frame and rear brake reservoir. Also make sure to keep the lock out of your sub frame. I can help you with the swap if you need it. It seriously only took me two hours to do the entire project. Shoot me a PM and I'll answer any specific questions. |
