Hello all. I'm new around here, but I was hoping for some advice. I've tried searching for this question, but I cannot find any answers.
I bought a 2015 S1000R a couple years ago and I have realized I am not really into street riding. I race a lot on my other bikes (both road racing and motocross), but I just don't find street riding much fun. So, I am stuck with a very nice bike that almost never gets used (500ish miles a year). I was thinking about trying to set the S1000R up as a new track/race bike.
My question is, if I was to swap the upper triple clamp for one from an RR, install some proper clipons and an RR fairing stay, do you all think I would be able to set up a set of race fairings? (Obviously I'll need a full exhaust too). Would the triple clamp and fairing stay from an RR fit? It looks like the frame and most other parts are the same or compatable. I know I would be giving up some power versus an RR or other proper litre bike, but at least I would end up using the bike. I appreciate insight from anyone who might know the answer to this question. Thanks in advance.
