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.
