Author Message   Dick Posted on Wednesday, July 12, 2006 - 02:37 am:        Looking to put the shorter 12S lower standard seat on my 06 XB12Ss long Lightning to get a lower seat hight nothing available for my bike in aftermarket yet   Tommy_k Posted on Wednesday, July 12, 2006 - 08:27 pm:        Hey Dick, Been there, done that. Your going to need more than just the rails. both subframes plastic undertray seat a lot of patience. You'll have to narrow the subframes, ream out the mounting holes. notch out the undertray for shock/spring clearance. notch out the undertray to lay the Ss shock res. ditch the batt. tray. cram all the long azz wires in there. Just a heads up. Can be done, but not a simple swap. See my profile for a picture. Hope that helps...

I need one!
