R1150r conversion

There is a great deal of interchangeability, so given enough time and money the answer is probably yes. Given the cost of a good used RT, my question is why would you do it?
 
If the bike runs well then there are plenty of good options for a windscreen. The system cases can be mounted if they didn't already come with the R bike. In my opinion that would be more cost effective than trying to convert the bike to an RT.
 
I have a complete 1150 RT donor bike The only issue I can see is rewiring the headlights in since the headlight assembly and wiring is different on an RT then on a R

It might be easier to put the R's complete drivetrain in the RT.
 
What he said. The subframes, wire harness, ECU, pegs, everything is different... except the mechanical power / drive train and I'm not 100% sure about that, especially the FD. What is wrong with the RT?
