rear suspension

[ward6903]

how can i lower my seat height and be doing it right and safe?

what's your bike?
if it's a lightning you can put a low seat on it, or scg suspension (forks and shock). you can slip the front forks but it effects the ride of the bike.

its a2003 xb9 firebolt. i've all ready shaved the foam down in the seat as much as i could.i would like to leave the front forks the way they are (stock)if possable.but anything that i could do in the rear to lower is some would help. thank you for your reply.

scg rear shock, yellow spring I believe

You didn't say anything about adjusting the rear shock itself. You could give it more travel so when you sit on it the shock will give a little easier. Or if your haveing problems touching which means your a short **** like me just slide your ass to the left or right when coming to a stop then when you start going slide the center. You get used to it after a little while

I put a Lighnting tail on my bolt and run a low seat for city cruzing

 

[ward6903]

yea no , i didnt say anything bout adjusting the shocks or the forks.but yes,idid that too anb as far as adjustabilty, i think the buells are great. anb that help out quite a bit i guess i'm just gettin greedy now.thanks for the imput and yes i am a short **** too and i have that slide system figured too. i guess on the days that i feel like i need both feet planted firmly on the ground i'll take out the softtail

 

[ward6903]

wanted to say thank you to all of ya for your help and your imput. i've decited to just leave it like it is, for now anyway. hell the geometry is so good on the buells that you hate mess with it.
