Author Message   Jlrenken Posted on Friday, March 02, 2012 - 11:18 am:        I have an 08 xb scg and im looking to get it back to the S hight. So im in the market for front forks and triple tree and rear shock. Im possibly willing to trade with someone with about the same milage and year. Its and 08 with 8500 mile. thanks   Blackm2 Posted on Friday, March 02, 2012 - 11:34 am:        Just a couple thoughts, but why not get the taller seat, and lower pegs from Knight Engineering, OR just trade or sell to get an S. Just seems like more of a hassle switching out forks and rear shock, to me at least.   Jlrenken Posted on Friday, March 02, 2012 - 02:19 pm:        i have the seat already. and i think it would be cheaper to trade shocks that to trade bikes. and i prob dont really need the S setup but i thought the extra travel might be nice. idk   Nillaice Posted on Saturday, March 03, 2012 - 02:34 am:        i have an 039S. 28K mi. i just serviced the forks ~1K mi ago.   Brandontenn Posted on Monday, March 05, 2012 - 06:15 pm:        Hello I have a 2005 xbr9 Firebolt and it has 2024 miles on it. I'd like to lower it. Howz that for a possibility? Im in Tennessee   Jlrenken Posted on Tuesday, March 06, 2012 - 05:17 pm:        would the front and rear be the same spec as the xbS models.   Nillaice Posted on Wednesday, March 07, 2012 - 07:38 pm:        04 changed fork diameter from 41-43 mm for the standard height bikes. low models kept 41 mm. really the springs were the change inbetween '03 XB9 and 03 XB9S. shorter and stiffer springs for the S. so you could re-build your forks with the taller springs and be good to go, but that would entail a bit of work and you'd eat the cost of fork seals and oil. shipping a set is just easier and usually cheaper. take a set of calipers to your forks at the upper and lower clamp points and post pics. that should eliminate any questions about fitment.
