Items you will need:
Firebolt top triple and bars (sold seperate)
firebolt ignition switch
firebolt front brake line
firebolt clutch cable recommended but not neccessary
fairing bracket
fairing
windscreen
mirrors
headlight assembly
spacers to match the thickness of the ecm mounting tabs since on the Firebolt the headlights are attached to the ECM then the fairing support.

A parts book or manual for a Firebolt will ease assembly, especially for getting the headbearings adjusted correctly, and I would highly suggest you read Henriks explanation in the brake section for tips on bleeding the front brake after changing the brake line. You will need to adapt the wiring for the headlight bulbs as it is different between the two models. That honestly was the most difficult part of the swap.

What are some sources for the firebolt parts? Daves is one but is there anywhere I could look at the prices of the individual parts. Thanks
