ok..i wanna kno how hard it is to do this swap? i have an 03 R...and want an S...can ya guys school me on this....thanks for your time...mike
 
not too hard at all. You need the S subframe rails, undertail, cheese grater/piece the tail light bolts to, and a seat.

There's space for everything under the seat, plus you'll have a little extra room since your ECM and fuses are in your front fairing. You'll have to make a new bracket for your rear brake reservoir.

I think that's all there is to it. Plenty here have done it though, so I'm sure someone will know if I missed something.
 
not really... you are completely converting an R to an S ? if so then... not so easy.

that is the hardest way to go as all your fuses are up front. the S headlight doesnt give enough room. so to put everything up back you need to do a wire harness change over as well. an S to an R conversion is easy as you can still leave all your fuses under the seat.

if you are jsut doing a tail swap then just as the maiden says. its easy enough. bolt over job except just have to have a bracket for your brake resevior as well.
 
oh as well... a S front fitting to a R tripple tree needs either some stand off to clear the bars, or some chopping... can be done though, and nice too when done.
 
oooh, yeah I misread that. there are so many tail swaps going on, I thought you were just talking about swapping the tails, which would've been easy. Find someone with a lightning that wants to trade! I wish they would've just put the ECM/fuses in the firebolt tail. Would've made life a lot easier on all of us.
 
complete conversion
You need to length the r wiring harness or replace it.
Fairing stay ,upper triple,headlights, and fly screen.
Move the fuses and wiring to under the seat.
The rear is fairly easy.
I maybe wiling to trade the front end parts.
Since i am in the middle of converting my gf's lightening bolt into a full bolt
Where are you located?
