    Lightbulb Want to buy - xb12ss

    I'm looking for an XB12ss Lightning long

    Im located in Michigan but i'm willing to drive out of state to pick one up.

    Id prefer a bike that runs and is in good mechanical condition.

    I'd also appreciate any leads if someone knows where I can find one. I'm not having much luck tracking one down.

    Thanks a lot

    -Adam

    What was the end result of putting the long swingarm on the SCG? Did you need a shock spacer? Did it raise/lower the bike?

    Hey thanks for the response.

    I'd really prefer an SS, plus Maine is kind of pushing my driving radius.

    It is basically now a SS Low. I used a spacer due to the mounts begin in a different location. It changed the angle of the shock to help the bike feel more planted and try to help keep the front down. With the XB9 primary and 90ft lbs they want to stand up. It does not raise/lower the bike.

    Where are you located? I would meet if not unreasonable.

    Interesting. I may have to look into this for the meth bike. Mike Lowary has me shamed into building a monster motor for it.

    I saw your listing, your bike looks great! Seems like you've put some work into it.

    Im a taller rider so the ss will be a better fit for me. Also I plan to modify this bike using the Bott XR1 kit, so I need an ss donor bike to start with.

    Good luck with the sale!
