And an SCG shock on a Xb12X makes the same suspension height as the early XB12SS but with the lightning spring rate, an SS shock likely has a closer spring rate as the 08 up STT, XB12SS, XB12XP and XB12X all used the same length shock but only the bikes offered with hard bags had the hydraulic tensioner.
Just a little food for thought.
