LWB roof lining is narrower then the SWB models therefore you need to plastic strips that clip either side of the roof lining.

ive got all of those parts is it just a simple swap over?

bugger not what i wanted to read i havent got the slightest clue on how to fibreglass and trim again no idea

Im currently trying to do this to my VN. I've run into a few problems, Trying not to cut and fibreglass to the original roof. I've cut the end off and currently have the roof fitted to the car. Mirrors and lights on the remote all work and the speakers too. I made my own roof loom - Much easier for a VN.
The main problem is the rear grab handles, I've made a Stainless steel bracket to move the handle over - without cutting the roof metal! I just need to find a slim LED setup for the rear eyeball lights....

then installing the slim covers on the sides is a task and a half.
Also, I've got VS Calais rear piller covers as well, so everything is felt covered!
- Hope some of this helps.
