So my question is when switch over from r to s was there any difference in seat height? I am really wanting to do the switch but if it makes the bike taller I might be out of the equation.

actually the lightning low suspension and/or tail section with seat is how most people lower their firebolts. regular lightning tail section and seat would be basically the same height. lightning tail section and then a low seat would drop seat height about 1 1/2"

you may want to go over to the 1125 section then... an s tail on an 1125 has been done, but if i remember correctly it wasnt an exact bolt on. some minor changes are needed.

He did post it on the 1125board but never got an answer he wanted, probably because only like 2 or 3 people have done the swap.
