Have you used the search option up there ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yes everything is a bolt on deal. I'm sure someone on here would trade their Firebolt stuff for your lightning rear.

I have an extra setup if you're interested.

I really think the question is why? The lighting sear is sooooooo much more comfortable. I could see changing the front fairing but not for the firebolt seat.

Looks. Why else?

 

[wolfo68]

I actually liked the firebolt seat more to ride on.

I did the swap and I love it.

Lightnings are very distinct in appearance. Nothing looks like a Buell lightning XB from the front or rear.

300 feet away and a firebolt looks like any other bike on the road.

do a tail chop if you haven't and just ride that thang!!!

Whoa! Slow down. That is like saying all 2 door cars look the same.

So it wont be even more rare with a firebolt tail you never see those around.

I will call you today Aa79912 I didnt get a chance to yesterday.

mine has a firebolt tail and a lightning front. you don't see them because all the electronics are in the other two pieces.

I did it also, was very simple. You can sell thay s tail in 30 seconds or less on here

Only a girl would make that claim about cars. LOL juskiddin.

You have a true Lightning Bolt. I think those look really cool.

R front ends(firelight)? not so much.

...what if I put the lightning front on one side and rig the firebolt front on the other. what would we call it then?
