Convert TT to S.. or make S look like TT.. which is more worth it?

[chkaotic]

Looking at selling my '03 954 and getting an xB.. and I'm kinda liking several of the features of the TT model alot.. i.e. the longer suspension travel, the arctic white panels, the number plates that I can play around with from time to time if I want to just ride solo.. and the black subframe as opposed to silver.. etc

But.. I would still want to remove the headlight bars, get a set of passenger footpegs, and get a regular S or Scg (more than likely S) seat.

The other way would be to buy an S model and get the arctic white panels and number plates..

Basically.. my question is.. is the TT's suspension angle and travel really *worth* it to go the first way, or should I not waste my money and just get the S?

This will be a primary roadbike that I would really love to take out on the track sometime when I get tired of my other race bike

Looking for something comfortable on longer trips, can get luggage for, comfortable for passengers, but can still cut through some good corners in the mountains.

Opinions?

If you like the extra suspension and the white of the TT I would go with that but you would have to use a seat from the Ss as the S and Scg is too short. I can't really help you with the handling aspects though. Also the Ss touring seat is definately more comfortable for passengers that any of the S seats.

steering doesn't differ that much if you know how.

the ss will give you more stability in highspeed corners when you want to use it on the track.
it gives you a comfortable seating position for everyday riding and enough room for a passenger for those rides.
also, the longer rear will give you more luggage possibilities.

but i would recommend riding with both before buying and let the bike sell itself

I bought a TT which the dealer had "converted" to an ss, works great for me. However I also got the original TT panels, number plate and fender if you're interested. They're brand new and in a box (I'm in London UK).
