Is the low seat and suspension compatable with an SS, or would you have to start with a XB12S or XB9SX?

The seat will not fit, neither will an SCG suspension. What you can do is get an 06-08 XB12SS suspension and swap it on, it is lower than the 09-10 models.

Thanks, Froggy. I'm trying to help a girl at work, but she is only 5'2". Probably the best option is to just find a SCG.

That's interesting though, I have a 2009 SS, and didn't realize it was different than the 06-08. Is the 09 like the TT?

Ah, I clicked on your profile so I assume it was your bike. Yes, the 09 SS uses the same suspension as the old STT. They basically merged the two bikes into one for 09. : )

Actually, the Ss was designed for people bigger than your 5'2" friend. Too many "normal sized" people complained the original XB bikes were too damned tiny...

I am happy to trade my XB12Scg for her bike.

It's in Fantastic shape but sits too low for me.

We have 2 1125R's and this XB12Scg. It's honestly my fav of the 2 but dosnt get ridden as much due to the ride height. (I have it adjusted up but will lower it back to stock for her)

I live outside Washington DC

2yldbuells,

She hasn't actually gotten one. She was looking at options in case she didn't find an SCG around here to buy.

If you decide to sell it, let me know.
