Author Message   Teddagreek Posted on Sunday, May 03, 2009 - 04:39 pm:        I figured you all would be the most knowledgeable of the bunch on this subject... I'm starting to look for a donor frame/bike for a Sport Touring bike... I'd like to use the longer frame the ULY and SS share? Or used to the first year? I know the TT and XT have the triple-offset which brought in the trail in... Does any one have a break down of what years had what "Rake & Trail" Thanks... Ted.   Hughlysses Posted on Sunday, May 03, 2009 - 08:23 pm:        AFAIK, the Uly, Ss, and TT frames are the same for all years (06-09). The 08 and 09 X have offset triple clamps and offset lower fork legs to allow more turning swing for the forks. My suspicion is that any differences in rake and trail between the models is due to differences in ride height, fork length, etc. You can get the rake and trail specs for the 08 and 09 models at Buell.com.   Froggy Posted on Thursday, May 07, 2009 - 08:13 pm:        06 XB12X Rake (at Steering Head) (4) 23.5° Trail (4) 4.8 in. 07 XB12X Rake (at Steering Head) (4) 23.5° Trail (4) 4.8 in. 08 XB12X Rake (at Steering Head) (4) 23.5° Trail (4) 4.8 in. 09 XB12X Rake (at steering head) (6) 23.5º Trail (6) 4.8 in. 07 XB12STT Rake (at Steering Head) (4) 23.1° Trail (4) 4.7 in. 08 XB12STT Rake (at Steering Head) (4) 23.1° Trail (4) 4.7 in. 08 XB12XT Rake (at Steering Head) (4) 23.8° Trail (4) 4.9 in. 09 XB12XT Rake (at steering head) (6) 23.8º Trail (6) 4.9 in. 06 XB12SS Rake (at Steering Head) (4) 23.5° Trail (4) 4.7 in. 07 XB12SS Rake (at Steering Head) (4) 23.5° Trail (4) 4.7 in. 08 XB12SS Rake (at Steering Head) (4) 23.5° Trail (4) 4.7 in. 09 XB12SS Rake (at steering head) (6) 23.1º Trail (6) 4.7 in.

You could establish (probably alreay done) an archive/museum and see to the day to day running of said museum.   Froggy Posted on Friday, May 08, 2009 - 10:23 am:        I don't know if that would be a blessing or a curse, I bet they have a "Do not post on Badweb" clause in the contracts. There would be a 60000% increase in Annony postings shortly there after   Ronmold Posted on Friday, May 08, 2009 - 04:38 pm:        Dumb question, how is trail measured?   Froggy Posted on Friday, May 08, 2009 - 04:43 pm:        I am not smart enough to explain it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycl e_geometry   Ronmold Posted on Friday, May 08, 2009 - 05:24 pm:        So does Buell list trail or mechanical trail?   Court Posted on Friday, May 08, 2009 - 07:15 pm:        Trail
