I have gone from LHD to RHD.
It is pretty much a straight forward swap.
If the Bugeye was made RHD, you will need a headlight dip switch sub
harness.
LHD dash
LHD steering rack
The pedals move right over but some plumbing is involved on the brake
and clutch pipes.
And some rerouting of the wires for the dash.

Good luck
