FXR to FXRT
I am considering the purchase of an FXR with an eye to making it into a FXRT. I don't have a specific bike in mind but it will likely be a post 1985 FXR model.
I know some of the parts will be hard to come by, which will be another consideration in my decision.
However, the question I am posing today is whether the conversion is a relatively straightforward bolt on project or does it involve more elaborate fabrication?
Is there any documentation available that details the process?
Thanks in advance for your help!

theres a full set of bags and fairings on ebay...3600, if u are trying the oem route...
big bear choppers has new fairings and shrouds with mounting hardware that wont leave u with holes for radios and speakers....
its def an expensive thing to do....u would probably be better off just looking for a fxrt, although they are expensive too! lol
