Yeah, you guys with some experience in this please do give us a little advice. I'd like to do the same. What do we need to get?

I'd also be interested in a list of parts for the tail conversion from S to R if anyone is willing to help us novices out.

I haven't done this conversion, but you'll need at least the Firebolt headlights/mirrors and maybe a Firebolt Ignition key switch/tumbler.

I have some parts coming to do the "S" to "R" swap, but it won't take place until later this winter, so I won't know a complete list until later.

You need the front fairing, wind sheild, fairing mount, lights, upper triple clamp, bars. I think there might be a bracket that mounts to the fairing mount to hold the lights in. Just call Dave S and he can help you out with the parts you will need that we may miss. It should be a simple conversion since your ecm and electronics are under the tail. You will be able to keep your gauges and ignition setup will just have to relocate to the new triple clamp.
