SCG to S height? How to?

[Dellinger]

I would like to get my SCG front end to normal S height. I know the rear is a shock replacement.

Can it be raised with the existing forks or do I need to do a swap?

In addition to the rear shock, you will need S or R front forks (same between the two) and sidestand to complete the swap.You shouldn't try to clamp the Scg forks higher. While you can gain a little height from it, you won't be able to gain enough.

Also depends on the year of forks you get. I believe up to 05 they were all 41mm then 06 and up s and r were 43mm. And you would nee the triple trees. It's only one of them that's different, but I forget if it's too or bottom.

If you found 03-04 (41mm) forks you won't need the lower triple.

I know most of the parts needed, the forks were my concern. I'm doing a R front end swap this winter and would like to do this as well if I can fund it.

If you want to swap let me know.... I just had my front forks rebuilt, maybe 2 miles on them

 

[Zerocwl]

dam in michigan here. mines a 07 xb9sx. i wouldnt be ready to pull mine off right now cause i mite be having to move soon.

I have an S setup I'd be willing to swap. I have an 04 xb12s. I also have an o5 xb12scg....would love for both of them to match. let me know if you'd like to trade. I'm getting ready to park the S for the winter and start peeling parts off for cleaning and stuff. I'd trade the forks, shock and side stand straight up with you, if you pay the shipping. just let me know, brother.

Dellinger...are you doing an S to R conversion or the R to S?

 

[Dellinger]

If and when I do it will be later in the winter and I'm not sure what rout I'll take yet with fork tube diameter. I just ordered all the parts for a Bolt fairing and tripple tree conversion and would like to do everything at the same time.
