Getting interested in Buells again. I noticed on a 2008 fork it had a blue nut which looked like a dirt bike high speed adjuster and a screw in which looked like a standard compression fork adjuster.

ARe the new xb12ss and Ulysses two speed valved in the forks as well as rear?

I think they are all 3 way adjustable front and rear. I know my Xb12Stt is. The Blue "nut" is pre-load, the screw is for re-bound and there's another screw on the lower leg for compression. The owners manual goes over set up fairly well.

Three way:

Preload, rebound, compression.

Ft_bstrd -
you and danger_dave are going to cost me money.. I've seen your posts on advrider as well!

It's a tough sell for momma tho' -
she really likes that Harley. I think the women want other women to know their husband rides a Harley. The Buell has no appeal for her...this sales job could take some time.
