Its been done dozens of times. I am sure you can find a write-up if you do a search for it.

The rear end swap is pretty simple, front end not so simple due to the fairing bracket has to be changed and the headlight wiring is different.

to change the front you will have to change th wiring harness because the ECM is held in front fairing on the r and it is in the back of the bike on the s.

Not necessarily true. If there is enough room to fit 2 HID ballasts and a Stebel air horn behind the XBS flyscreen, you can fit the ECM.

you would need to squeeze the ECM and 2 fuse blocks under that little fly screen... plus the horn... I think it would be a monster pain in the A

But if you just put the S tail on the R... that looks bad A$$ if ya ask me...
