Does anyone make a lowering "kit" for 2003 Lighting XB9S? Thanks in advance for help. |

Not a kit so much but I can get you what you need. |

I could use the answer to this question, too. I'm tired of having to be careful where I park because I might not be able to back up without help since I can't get both feet firmly on the ground.. Kathy |

If anyone would like to sell the parts taken off to lower your bikes I would be interested in buying them. I'd like to convert mine from an xb9sl to an xb9s. My bike was advertised on the internet as an "s" but was in fact an "sl". I am just over 6 feet tall and I look like I am riding a bike that is too small for me. I hope it will handle just as well with the taller suspension! Thanks. Steve |

And a "cheap and dirty" alternate approach would be to just drop on a 9sx seat. That should buy you an inch or so anyway. |

You are exactly right Reep. The seat will gain you as much as the suspension and it's only 97.00 buck or so. |

Similar to Steve, I'm seeking options to raise my bike from Low to regular suspension height, either by retrofitting with OE parts, or swapping suspension components with another XB owner. I have an old ad in Classifieds with more details. Dave, does a swap from Low to normal require a similar list of OE pieces? |

Different parts but should be about the same money |
