Hey folks, I spotted an XB12STT the other day, first one I've ever actually seen on the road. Tried to chase it but the old F-100 isn't quite as nimble The one I saw was white with black stripe, had low front guard and number plates removed. Looked really neat I'm curious to see what people have done with STT's, so please post a pic if you have one. Did they only come in white? Thanks, chili |

I have an 07stt, it has an ss touring seat, a regular front fender, passenger pegs. Cheesegrater is gone, it has led tail light with integrated turn signals and a set of oberon bar end signals on the front. I have a ventura rack and JC whitney topcase and a set of soft bags for touring. I think I need a uly too Nekkid

What are the suspension/frame/swingarm differences between an stt and an x or xt? Looks to me like it's already a uly minus the tail and dash. |

"Ummm, it WAS an STT at one point... " Until you got to it! I do like your bike though "What are the suspension/frame/swingarm differences between an stt and an x or xt? " And SS? Is it somewhere between the SS and the X? |

The XT has less(3/4" IIRC)suspension travel, but is still 1/2" taller seat height. But my bike will, and has bottomed out. I can see on the rear fender where it has hit the undertail. The X is still about 3/4" more travel, and 1 1/4" taller seat height. The frame & swingarm between the X,XT,SS,and STT are identical. And here's my wife's STT with a few less modifications.

Ok, I think I got it. All the variants of what is essentially the Uly frame have almost identical rake figures, but differ in height and suspension travel. Yeah, I'm a nerd, but here's front suspension travel in order: X1 4.6"/119mm XB12S 4.7"/120mm XB12Ss (2007) 120mm XB12XT 4.9"/125mm XB12STT 5.6"/143mm XB12Ss (2009) 5.6"/143mm XB12X 6.5"/165mm I'd forgotten the XB12Ss got the STT suspension for '09 when the STT was discontinued. |

STTs rarely stay stock as you can see. Mine's came with the orange airbox and I hated it, but got a good enough deal to be able to buy a white one and not feel bad about it. Low front fender from a Ss Touring saddle Hepco & Becker bags and mounts Cheap barend mirrors Cee Bailey wind shield Hella Driving lights (not on in this photo) And a Buell tank bag clips on when needed and a Roll Bag across the rear of the seat and I'm good for a week. Thinking about adding Uly footpeg mounts for a little more leg room

They're starting to seem like the ultimate donor XB. There are a few around here (though I've only seen the one on the road) and when for sale a bit cheaper than an SS or a Uly. "You all already know what mine looks like! " Hehe, yes I do. How's the damage? It was an STT originally too!? |

Started off as a SS, turned into a STT via take off parts except suspension, and now the insurance company is buying me STT forks |

Froggy I'm glad they're buying new forks for your bike and not parts for YOU! Get well soon and try not do this again...might not be so lucky next time. |

Mine:
As you can see, stock as the day it was born. I probably won't mess with it. |

I went for a ride today, and what's the first Buell I see? An STT kind of turned into an SS... I like, kind of an XB equivalent to my bike:
