Has anybody put an s front end on an r model. Did a search but could not find any info or pics. Have another possible bueller, likes the r azz end and the s front end.

I did the other way around, S to R front. Going from R to S is a bit more complicated because of the wiring. There's no room in the S front to place the ECM, fuse box, and bank sensors. That means you will have to change the rear to S, and install a new wiring harness.

Easiest thing to do is change the top triple tree so that you can install an upright handlebar.

They are basically the same bike with the excetion of the subframe and headlight assembly. You would need to relocate some electricals between the front and the subframe.

Putting the R tail on an S would probably be easier than the opposite. Putting an S front on means having to move ALL the major electricals. Doing the opposite, you may still have to relocate them, but only a few inches instead of the entire bike length.

Aside from the roomier seats, you probably wouldn't gain much since most likely the R truck would be filled with relays, fuses, and ECM.
