I have a 2003 Firebolt xb9r with transmission problems and I was wondering if it is possible (and how difficult it would be) to just swap engines with a 2003 Lightning xb9r?

lightning would be an xb9s
it's an easy swap the only difference between the motors is the badges.

Come to think of it would it be more simple to swap the front end and seat section?

why not just ride the lightning.
the frames and everything are the same the only difference is the fairing and tail and the wiring harness. it would be much easier just to put the firebolt fairing and tail on the lightning

Why not just replace/rebuild the transmission?

bobaganoosh... That is what I was hoping was possible. Seeing as it is just that simple I will try for it.
fidosol... I really wanted to rebuild it but this job is well beyond my skill and for the price of parts it looks like I could just replace. Unless I am much mistaken on the parts cost.
