Looking to get your bike lowered? Well I'm trying to raise mine! Looking to trade my SCG suspension, and other necessary parts (e.g. kickstand and fork lowers) for your R/S parts. 25xxx miles on the bike, with the fork and shock serviced about 3k ago. Located in southern LA county and looking for a face to face swap.
 
Do you have any pics of the bike? I am interested in trading to the CG suspension but only if my lady can fit it. I find myself in LA semi frequently and would like to meet up next time I am out there. I would like her to mount your bike to see how she fits the lowered suspension if you don't mind. I could let you know at least a week ahead of time and could try and plan it on one of your days off. I have an 09 XB12r.

Sorry for the delay BamBam. Been taking care of wedding prep stuffs. Pics are below! Having her come and sit on the bike is totally reasonable. I'll be unable to meet until the 30th of August, but as of right now, I'll be available almost every weekend until just before Thanksgiving.

For reference, I am 5'6" with a 28" inseam. On flat, I am able to touch with both feet to about the ball of each. Why do I want the longer R/S suspension? I'm so used to taller bikes that I don't mind one-footing and prefer having a little bit more suspension travel.

I have a full 05 xb12r full front end if you want it don't need a trade but will have to be shipped,and rear shock
 
xtremelow and I maybe wanting it, if its available for a trade still.... Not really sure what all suspension stuff we need/want (I am still learning on that end) I just know that we would like to lower our bike xb12s.
 
As my wife stated above we would be game to do a swap and meet up half way between our locations. I’m in Phoenix.

I’ll message you too.
 
just a head's up for anyone else still following this thread: trade is pending with xtremelow/buellchick. in the unlikely event it falls through, I'll let you guys know!
