Author Message   Dannyzuko Posted on Friday, June 23, 2006 - 02:25 pm:        Well I love the way my XB9R handles and rides. The only thing is that I'm kinda short at 5'6" and I have to rest on my tiptoes when I stop. It's really difficult to back up the bike while on it. I usually just walk it into position while off the bike. I was curious if anyone has lowered theirs and what side effect it had as far as handling. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.   Aldaytona Posted on Friday, June 23, 2006 - 03:10 pm:        Call Daves for the parts list and your banker for the dough.   Adamcooney Posted on Friday, June 23, 2006 - 04:16 pm:        I know Penske makes a rear shock that's height adjustable and has about 1,000 other adjustments on it as well, it's like 600 for the street version and 800-900 for the race one. I'm not sure if they make front forks but maybe you can use the "sl"/Low front forks on it? I'm thinking of the same thing eventually for my Ss.   Duff24 Posted on Saturday, June 24, 2006 - 06:40 pm:        Find somebody with an XBSL and swap suspension...surely that would work, eh?   Diablobrian Posted on Saturday, June 24, 2006 - 06:57 pm:        for the 03 you wouldn't even need to change the lower triple. Forks, shock and kickstand would do the trick to convert to a low.   Ronlv Posted on Saturday, June 24, 2006 - 07:04 pm:        i traded with someone to lower mine cost, shipping you can find someone to swap im sure   Bcordb3 Posted on Saturday, June 24, 2006 - 08:52 pm:        Either, last year or the before DaveS had XB9R lowered for someone during one his promotions. If I remember correctly there were few pictures lots of details on line about this bike. As said before. Call DaveS, then call your bank. I really don't think would be that.   Daves Posted on Sunday, June 25, 2006 - 07:28 am:        I can get it done for you. New rear shock, about 250.00 Shorten the front end, I think was about 175.00 If you want to talk about it call me Tuesday afternoon. 1-866-757-1651 ask for Dave in the sales dept.   Dannyzuko Posted on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 05:27 pm:        Thanks alot for your help Dave. I appreciate it.   Hogs Posted on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 10:12 pm:        So say on a 2004 xb12r By taking the susspension say off a 2005 xb12scg wd that not be the same gear one wd. need ,I think so, also How wd the 12R now handle being lowered etc etc. I think it wd only be better being lowered and all???
