Is there anyone out there that would be willing to trade my 07' SCG suspension for your standard S suspension? Oh yea it has about 4500 mi on it and I would want to trade for something with similar millage or other possibilities...?

I wish I wasnt so damn short I am on my toes every time I come to a stop and a lower stance would be a outstandingly nice change.Plus I wouldnt have to pay a arm and leg to buy the parts if you want to trade.

Y'all would not believe the difference a low suspension on a R makes!
It's awesome!

I havent heard anything yet but if Ulyssesguy doesnt want to trade me I would really appreciate it so please keep me in mind and thanks for the offer.

New12r heck a kickstand would be cheap compared to what the whole suspension set up cost and I would gladly throw that in for a lower stance.

Yup!

But if you dont change it the guy with the lower suspension and taller kickstand will be pissed when his bike falls over all the time.

Not trying to rain on the parade. But the SCG is a 41mm fork tube. The S is a 43mm tube. You will need the triples with the forks. You probably know all of this, but I felt it would be worth mentioning.

Good luck on the creation and Happy Wrenching!

Fastxb12r- I sent you a pm yesterday, it must not have gone through... I live Up in Washington and I'm not quite sure what shipping will be to Florida but if your ok with shipping to Wa i'll ship to Fl...

Bigredwood- I think that the difference in diameter is the inside diameter of the fork tube and the outside is exactly the same uses the same trees ect... But i'll double check...

Yep, I just stumbled into stupid.
Your right, the outside tubes must be the same on the 41mm and 43mm suspensions. I can not find a single triple that doesn't fit all XB's. Kind of wierd. Trojan horse even sell inserts that fit all xb's. Sorry about butting in.

Once again . . . Happy wrenching
