Thread: tail lift???

  1. #1
    ive been seeing a couple of buells with, what it seems, a lift for the seat
    how can i do that to mine?

    do a search mate, loads of info out there. trojan offer a jack up kit, you have to mod your seat to accept it or buy the kit which is expensive.

    yeah i would guess that has a jack up kit on the suspension and notice how the seat is nowhere near stock.

    There is a good thread about this on Buellitenboard.com. A guy over there lifted his tail for a few dollars and it looks great. Problem is that he has nothing to cover the gap as of now, but i'm sure he will figure it out. Looks good and beats spending $200. This link should help you get started:

    The bike above has the Trojan kit. The seat is a 03-04 XB9S low seat. The seat actually gives more of a jacked up look.

    Nope not at all. I have a XB9S as well as a 12. I bought the low seat so my wife could ride the bike easier. Yes that is a 2003-04 XB9S Low seat.

    Ya it is, I have a XB12Scg, there is foam taken out of it to compensate for the more extreme angle. It may not be alot but there is definitely a little taken out.

    I forked out the dollars to get the PM raiser. I know they cost alot but looking at the trojan horse ones and not getting a good feeling about those thin bits of metal; plus i looked in to getting them made which would have turned out to be more in the long run: i thought, sod it, just get them.
    Once they are on i'll post pics.
