OK I am thinking of putting these on my xb12r but I would like to see some pics of them mounted and info/opinions.I am unsure how they will mount and really dont want them making the bike look like its missing spaces.I just want a more aggressive look on the tail. |

Never seen subframe spacers for an XBR. An XBS, yes, but not on an XBR. Maybe you could post some pics of what your thinking. |

WOW a 3 and a half inch lift! That'd put your ass in the air |

with the trojan spacers installed, there will be a decent size gap between the tail cowling and the frame....I wanted to do the same thing so I asked the maker of them and thats what he told me.... |

Sorry I forgot the link.Thank you Pepperk496 I was just to caught up in this election. Does anybody have this mod done yet? also Buellbuster did the maker send you any pics of it mounted? it has a 90mm lift. 90 mm = 3.543307087inches (Message edited by fastxb12r on November 04, 2008) |

he said he didnt have any pics of them installed on the R models, only S. S models dont have the back plastic, thus no gap... yellow dot is where the spacer goes. teal is where the gap will be.

I got a email back from them yesterday and they said they should have pics soon hopefully.either way I will more than likely get it and if I dont like it im shure I can resell it for not much of a loss. |

IMO thats not a good modd to spend $$$ on for a R.... plus the seat would be at an odd angle and too the seat cowl with the ugly gap.... to make it look more aggressive try removing the passenger peggs |

Ya I got quoted around 110 shipped to me but I still like them. After thinking about the gap somemore I think I will take the bottom 2 subframe bolts loose this weekend and manually lift the tail to see if the gap will be acceptable. |
