After searching forever to try to find out if it can be done, i figured what the heck, might as well just do it. While searching I noticed a few other people had asked the same question that I had--"Can it be done?" "Has any one got pictures?" Well here are some pics for those of you who were wondering like I was.
It is not hard to do. The gas tank looks kind of 'not right' and there is a small gap between the seat and plastic, but not horribly visible.
On the front, the only modifying there was to do was turning around the "L" brackets above the shock mounts & drilling out the little stub to move them inboard, and bending the small diameter brace behind that a little bit to make contact with the plastic.
On the back, holes were drilled for the forward set of bolts and the two holes for the seat guide things had to be spaced apart a little. The seat latch holes lined up perfectly, in fact I would suggest lining them up first and going from there. Hope this helps someone. Sorry so lengthy.

Looks sweet man!
Just tell everyone that youve got a four stroke R. Is that the FIBE Industries hood you got?
