Thread: frame question

  1. #1
    I also own a TT. I have read the rake is different between the tt and uly models and I was wondering if they had changed the frame to get that geometry or of they changed the height between the front and back suspension.
    For example, if you put uly suspension on an stt would you get a change in the rake or would it stay the same.
    It doesn't seem like buell would had redone the frames just to get a slightly different rake.

    this topic has been discussed a few times. The SS STT X and XT frames are all the same. Therefor the suspension between them is interchangeable. The rake is actually in the lower triple tree. DO NOT put S R SCG or SL suspension on the SS frame the bike will speed wobble like crazy. Yes i speak from experience.

    the correct syntax is "site:buellxb.com insert search term here" that will only search this specific website.
