Its definatly flat across the top like a dirt bike. Probably gonna increase the seat height a bit.

Does the XB9SX have a lower suspension? The seat height on Buell.com says 30.1", which is the same as the XB12S. The XB12Scg is listed as having a 28.6" seat height.

It could squash down to the same position when you sit on it, but with more padding and comfort under you. Dunno.

Guess we'll have to wait until a dealer gets one in.

the XB9SX seat is a direct drop-in fit for other XB lightnings...

A related question....

The specs show the XB9SX seat height to be 30.1 inches...the same as the the XB12S. According to the specs, the ground clearance for both bikes is the same, but the XB9SX's seat as shown is taller and is surely higher?

One of my complaints with the XB seats is that they force you into a more or less fixed riding position...looks like the City's seat may allow for a little movement?
