    Hello. Has anyone ever modified the Firebolt rear seat section? Besides swapping the the rear section for a Lightning section. I bought an extra Firebolt rear section of ebay and I'm thinking of "slimming" it up. I'd like to see some pics or any ideas would help get me started. Thanks.

    I do not believe anyone has done anything of the like. Sext9 is doing a firebolt seat/lightning rail combo right now, however I do not know of anyone that has chopped up the factory subframe.

    I thought about it a few years ago but never did. Nicholas900's cafe conversion looks pretty good, but it is a complete custom tail.

    Look around for inspiration (possibly other bikes) and have at it!

    Do you mean the tail fairing or the subframe? It has been done.

    It's part of the Manticor kit. I've seen it for sale somewhere before but the whole kit is around $3,000.
