That would be pretty impressive if you did.

I'd have done it months ago if I had money for a 2nd bike. The Lightning is at the top of the list.

I'm thinking about it now. I didn't want to. I'd rather just have it straight up. But I'm thinking now I will start to gather the parts.

Plus I'm sure you'll be able to find guys on BadWeb wanting to swap parts... More guys bought the S wanting the R than the other way around...

The trick for you is going to be handling the electronics in the fairing vs them being in the tail. I know it can be done though... just never researched it.

I wouldn't swap...I'd buy outright. I like to be able to keep it original. I just never wanted to deal with the headache of switching everything out.

Yeah, that's coolio... if it were me, I'd probably just do the fairing and that's it... or at least make that the first step...
