Default f4i to RR conversion

i just laid down my 05 f4i that i had done a 2 seat conversion on. its gonna need to be redone as i laid it down pretty hard. does anyone have any information on a f4i to RR tail conversion?i like the rr tail better and it looks to have a locking glove box which would be a plus. anyone ever see this done or have any information? also would like to switch to a rr swingarm. i have seen pictures and would like to know if its a direct swap? anything will help thanks

RR has a completely different subframe, with special things designed for the undertail exhaust. It will definitely not be a simple bolt on. But it could be done with enough ingenuity.

The RR swingarm is relatively easy, just slight modification needed and the right parts (suspension, swingarm, rear brake mount/caliper/whatever).

I saw a nanner subframe on eBay that was modded to fit the RR tail for like 25 bucks. Only thing is it didnt have any tail light mounts. (thats why I didnt get it) And it even came with a tail (cracked)

Tails are always hard to swap. Just swap the front and sides. Should still look sweet. F4i tail already looks cool anyways just get the integrated undertail.
