Sell it and buy a Uly. (not a smart ass response, that's really what you should do).

What Bill meant to say was "No, not without a GREAT deal of hassle..". Meaning cutting, welding, fabrication, etc...

If he didn't mean that, I do!

The X1 tail will not work without who knows how much work. Best/cheapest solution? Get a touring Firebolt seat, American Sport Bike just came out with a few new ones that will do the trick.

Alternatively, put the XB Lightning tail back on it.

What did Brankin do with his Ulybolt? Was that a Uly with a firebolt front end? Or was it a firebolt with a Uly tail section?

That might work, but it might need an XB12SS (whatever the long frame one was called).

Brankin put a Firebolt front on a XB12XT.
