Author Message   Gmc310 Posted on Thursday, June 06, 2019 - 12:22 pm:        is there a way to read the vin number on a lightning low to verify that is is indeed a low model? I'm looking into one and the owner isnt sure, thanks in advance.   Gmc310 Posted on Thursday, June 06, 2019 - 12:30 pm:        did a search on here and found some good answers, Thanks guys   Froggy Posted on Thursday, June 06, 2019 - 03:16 pm:        Yes. The VINs on all domestic XBs start with 4MZ, the two right after that is the model code, WX is the code for Lightning Low or SCG. Some other model codes are SX for regular Lightning, AX for Firebolt, KX for CityX, JX for Lightning Long, DX regular Ulysses, FX Ulysses XT, and DB for Uly Police. Also, you can visually tell what suspension it has, as suspension swaps are easy and not uncommon. The rear shock is yellow on the low bikes, and blue on regular height. For the forks, there is a sticker near the bottom of the fork which faces the tire so it not always easy to see, but it has the part number. If it ends with "AE" it is a low fork. (This is a normal height fork, ends with "A8")   Shoggin Posted on Friday, June 07, 2019 - 12:43 am:        Thats fantastic Info! thanks for posting Froggy I'll put it in my Buell notes Even though the OP only gave you 8 minutes to reply...? That kind of impatience, they must be from facebook, lol (Message edited by shoggin on June 07, 2019)   Gmc310 Posted on Friday, June 07, 2019 - 08:56 am:        Yes. Great info. Not sure yet if I’ll pull the trigger and buy the Low with hopes of changing out the short bits, but great to know one way or the other. Thank you.   Gmc310 Posted on Friday, June 07, 2019 - 09:01 am:        No Impatience at at all Shoggin, just thought I’d use the search function and see what I could find. And No, not from Facebook, registered here since 2004. Thanks again guys (Message edited by gmc310 on June 07, 2019)   Froggy Posted on Friday, June 07, 2019 - 10:15 am:        I saw that Gmc already had his answer but I figured I'd provide input just in case someone came to this thread in the future Also, Twin Motorcycles has a really nice and detailed VIN decoder https://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/artikelen.asp?cid=1 8&aid=191   Gmc310 Posted on Friday, June 07, 2019 - 11:38 am:        Thanks again Froggy   Shoggin Posted on Friday, June 07, 2019 - 12:10 pm:        Gmc310: I'm just being a smartypants. No offense intended All the XB manuals have the Vin's decoded as well, you can get a free one at Buellmods.com or Buelltooth.com but Froggys fork info is better
