Sorry if this is a bit banal but what are the logistic requirements of converting the back end on this to look like a Ltd ? or its it even viable ?

You can make anything fit, just depends on how handy you are with a grinder and welder :D

Anything is possible ! You would have to decide which tail you wanted , J style or round Z style . From this you would work out which seat . Then the work would start fitting mountings for tail and seat . If it was me I would be trying to make as much of the fittings bolt on as possible . Easy to put back when selling .

Another thought . Fit a round 650 tail which is shorter and mount directly to seat base . This would only involve a mod' to the seat , get an old seat and play .

The ltd k I had in bits had a tail unit that had been widened to fit the csr/ltd models. Skid11 bought it, he may be able to shed more light on this. I don't know if the seat from the ltd with a tail would fit straight on.
