I believe through some research that my new to me xb12s has gone through the necessary steps to be an scg:
1. Seat is the low seat (part #M0076.3AE marked on the seat bottom)
2. Yellow suspension spring
3. Forks lowered...I think. Believe the bottom of the tree is aligned with the screw on the front tire fender (see picture)
Am I missing anything else? Apologies if I missed this in a search, I think I covered the points...maybe haha

Dont over look the Kick stand.
Ugh, thought I missed something, sigh. Thank you. I'll check it this evening and lookup to compare. Kind of excited that the conversion is (almost) there...I preferred an scg but couldnt pass up the deal on this S. I'm going to check the VIN IDs too just to be sure it's not a stock scg (previous owner I'm not positive did much research to check this when he bought from the original owner).
Here is a 08 12SCG with a higher seat , Keda_743.jpg
Silverrider,
I tried checking some threads but may have missed it (or rushed through it) is there a way to differentiate between the kickstands? Obviously by length, but, I couldnt find a definitive length measurement to know when I check my kickstand. Maybe a part number stamp on the kickstand itself? I will say the bike does lean over at a good angle...I would think if it was a regular S kickstand it would be more upright.
Hope this helps I dont own my SCGs any more, But I did have 2 at one time, hard to decide which to ride.

If it parks at an ok angle you're fine. It's REALLY obvious and will barely lean over at all with a S kickstand on a Scg.
4th and 5th digit in vin is WX if it is a SCG

Nope there were no SCG markings on them. All bikes just said S.
