Just wonder is it possible to take off the Cr front headlight/brackets etc and change over to a 1125 R front windsheild etc? Does the wiring have to be changed or just headlight/fairing etc etc stuff like that? IS it much of a job...I know the bars/top tree may have to be changed as well...
Thanks

There's pretty much nothing inside the flyscreen save for some wiring, so a swap shouldn't be too hard with the correct upper triple.

Correct me if I am wrong, cause I know somebody will...but if your changing the triples then you are also changing the location of the ignition. Which may need another mount unless it is attached to the fly screen plastics.

I would say that a "swap" with someone would include a top triple clamp swap as well.

The same issues exist with the R/S swap.

Yep I don't know where the cr keeps it's goodies but the r has a number of components on the fairing bracket. Besides the ignition switch I'd hazard a guess to some changes required but, nothing $ couldn't fix.

The ignition mounts to the top triple on an R.

Does each headlight, highs and lows have their own separate connector? If so, you may find yourself a couple connections short going from cr to r.
