    Low suspension XB12S

    Hi all, can you confirm me if the original suspension on a XB12S can be modifie to get lower... I'm small and at the garage they want to know first if a rebuilt is possible. Thanks

    I lowered my 12s shock absorber 25mm with the kit from MIZU-solo Buell. Works very well.

    Factory suspension and seat for an XB12Scg or XB9SL - brings it down about 2" if I recall. I'm short too (29" inseam) and put the "low" seat on my 2004 XB12S and it helped quite a bit. New seat or shaving/reshaping the stock seat will probably get you the most gain, and it's cheaper than a new shock/forks.
