Uly with Scg Suspension?

[JasonB]

I'm a new (to me) Uly owner. I have about 150 miles or so on it this fall and plan on riding it until it quits and/or until Erik makes one similar for me to buy!

That being said, I stand 5'7", with a 29"-ish inseam, and haven't seen a gym in awhile. So, needless to say, the bike is a bit tall for me. I wanted a bike my wife and I could both ride on and a Uly was my only real option in the Buell world.

So, my question is...I'd like to lower it like 2" or so. Could I put a Scg forks and rear spring on it? Or a TT or SS?

You could definitely put the scg suspension on it. Aside from the forks and spring, you'll also need a shorter sidestand.

Just for reference, I'm 5'8 and thought my 9SL(9 version of the 12scg) and I thought it was too short for me. I moved up to the normal S/R suspension and it feels a lot better. I still have the low seat, but sometimes I use the tall cityx seat as well, so if you're having a hard time finding an scg suspension, you'd probably do ok with the normal height S suspension too.

Thanks for the info upthemaiden

I have an scg, and I've been considering swapping to a taller suspension. How much taller is the Uly compared to the regular S?
