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...

For sure. Thats my main problem is leaning to those clip ons. So the front end would be first for sure.

You need to change the top of the triple tree when going from an R to an S. That's pretty much the only thing that and having to relocate the electronics are what keeps me from doing it.

I love the s front with the r tail. It's just more work than I want to invest.

I gotta do it.

I'm sure it's a great bike, but I can notice the difference in handling between the SS and R. I think the Uly would be even more noticeable? I really wish I could get my hands on an S with the 08 upgrades..

there's an "S" for sale 2007, 3200 miles for $4500...:idk: I just talked to a guy last week with a XB and he wants to sell his BAD! He wants a V-Rod and the HD dealer won't touch his Buell. He's military and it had maybe 2000 miles on it. I can seriously look into it if anyone is really interested.
