WTT My Firebolt tail for your Lightning tail

[afinley]

I've got a 2009 Firebolt, and I want to trade tails with someone with a Lightning. My bike is black, but I do not care what color your bike is.

We would need to trade the entire section, so I would like someone as close to NC as possible, to keep shipping costs low.

Let me know if you're interested. I would also be down for a full swap, front end and wiring harness, if you have a Lightning and want a Firebolt.

I am stationed at Cherry Point and I have an 07 Lightning. Any pics of your tail? Condition of seats?

(I'm at work, so I can't upload the pics here without the originals on my computer)

I have both the perforated seat that is stock and a smooth seat from an 1125

I would so trade the front I have an 09 lightning same color I don't know how hard the swap is though

Lightning Front on a Bolt Thread 1 and Thread 2, and Firebolt w/ Lightning Front End

 

[afinley]

Yeah, the front is pretty much an all or nothing kind of deal. Because the ECU on the R is up front, you have to get the wiring harness to make it work.

If you're in NC we could do it. I am looking at LSL Superbike bars right now, but an S front would get me what I am looking for, too. If you're not in NC, I don't see a front end swap working. We would have to both ship our triple trees, ECUs, front fairings, rear subframes, and rear body sections. While I have had nothing but good experiences with that so far, I would be afraid to pretty much put my whole bike in a box and ship it in good faith.

 

[BuellDude]

Yeah I think that would be more than it's worth. I am only wanting to swap the front but it's probably not worth the hassle

 

[afinley]

You would probably want to just buy the parts to do the swap. You're not going to find someone with an R that would swap the fronts without the wiring, since it would leave their bikes not working.
