Does anyone have an idea on how to convert XB9SL tail to ULY tail?

I know a Uly tail will fit on an Ss frame (same frame, same mounting points), but don't know on an SL. It will depend on the spacing of the 4 bolts that hold the tail rails to the main frame/tank. If they match, you'll need:

- L and R tail rails
- Undertail
- Tail 'bridge' with taillight
- Tag bracket
- grab rails
- triple tail
- seat
- some ingenuity for possible wiring extensions, etc, under the seat
- Uly footpeg sections are required if you want to have a passenger - passenger pegs on a Uly don't mount to the tail, but to the lower frame section with the rider pegs. This will also require a different shifter setup and rear brake m/c setup with pedal.

I think that covers it....

Wont fit without modification to the rails.

You will need an ss or a tt for a direct bolt on swap.

Can it be done? Yes.

Is it worth the money and time involved in fabricating the needed brackets? That is up to you.
