My wife currently rides a Blast and loves it, mostly. She has ridden my Firebolt but says its too tall. She likes the power of the 1200cc bike and the the smoothness as compared to her Blast. Also, she prefers the more upright riding position of the Blast. The Lightning seems perfect but she is concerned about standover differences. Buell specs the Lightning XB12scg at 1.1 inches more than the Blast. She is not an aggressive rider, but can handle her own on 2 wheels. She just wants to be flat footed when stopped. Is there a lowering kit for the Lightning???

Here's one option. Buell makes a seat that lowers XB lightning ride height by 1" if that helps you any. Got mine from dealer for a little over $100 and sold my stock seat on E-bay for $72.
