So the swingarm is 2 inches longer, obviously a longer belt is needed, other than that does anyone know if there are other parts that would not be interchangeable with the standard XB's? I am sad to see the amber wheels not offered on the long.... |

I think the rakes different as well - 1 degree more I believe. The seat looks different as well. |

I agree Buba...the seat being different is a huge drawback for me cause I can't stand the stock seats BMC puts on... |

Actually the new seat looks more comfortable to me. At least the seat looks a bit wider. Or it's an illusion in the pic. I'm hitting the 27K mark and it's time to upgrade. Some of my minor annoyances with my XB could be alleviated with the 12Ss. Or least I'm sticking with that when I tell the Mrs. |

Too funny Buba....the 12Ss looks to be my first Buell...demo rides here are next Saturday so it's gonna be a LONG week at work lol...righ now I am on an '04 sporty with a Mustang solo seat that rides like a cloud so you can see my point about the stock Buell seats lol |

Good choice IMO. I'm really liking all of the new additions to '06! |
