i have a 2003 XB9S. i am looking to 'clean-up' the tail section and was wondering if it would be possible to buy a Firebolt tail section (plastic), seat cowl, seat and just be able to bolt it onto my lightning???
the above parts can be bought for a reasonable price on ebay (i have them bookmarked).
i don't know enough about the two models and was hoping there would be somebody here who might!

email me PLEASE!

THANKS!

Umm, you can also do a trade with a R owner (like me for example), meet up and swap bike to bike. Cheap, sorta easy (easier for the R bike since we have the stuff up front already). You could put a "Wanted" into the classified section of the forum -- maybe someone in your area wants to do a trade.

i would love to swap with an R owner.

unfortunately i am in Canada and can't enter your beautiful country (i was a dumb 'younger adult')

up here even the Harley shops don't care for us Buell owners much.

i wanted to do the conversion because i am a SOLO rider and the R tail section would look so much cleaner on my Lightning. i am a solid NAKED BIKE rider.

i will keep looking and i appreciate the suggestion.

when i get a sec i'll post in the wanted section.

THANKS!


PEACE

No problem -- good luck. By the way, there are some rear covers for the passenger section of the S tail. Also, check eBay -- gear for our XBs show up all the time.

"Dumb younger adult" -- LOL, I was one of those too.

Cheers!
