Author Message   Uly_dude Posted on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 - 04:18 pm:        Is the X's rear shock the same as the XT's, only with less travel? How much less, anyone know? And is it a stiffer spring? Reason I ask, I have an extra 1200x rear shock that I was going to post to see if anyone wanted to trade straight up for and XT rear shock, essentially allowing me to lower the seat alittle. How much lower is the XT seat than the X's? Thanks.   Jasonb Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 08:12 am:        I know a guy who made some lowering collars for XB's, especially the Uly! If you're interested, I can talk to him. FYI...The guy is me   Someday Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 09:02 am:        Jasonb, Any pictures?   Jasonb Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 01:33 pm:        I'll post one tonite. I don't have any on my phone.   Uly_dude Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 02:57 pm:        Hey Jason, I've seen those, nice stuff. However I've got this extra shock and would rather lower it with a XT shock or have the extra shock rebuilt with a spacer inside the piston. Then I can just swap between the two shocks depending on the adventure. I'll have to pull up the XT specs to see how much shorter that shock is before trying to swap with someone. thanks.   Schwara Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 03:09 pm:        I've got some pics. Give me a minute and I'll send a PM to any interested.   Schwara Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 03:24 pm:        I'll modify my offer ... PM me and I'll send pics of the lowering collar. As a side note, it seems like a very well machined piece.   Billy_bee Posted on Friday, January 13, 2012 - 09:49 am:        I have a lowering collar on my bike that the PO installed. Lowers the bike too much for me. So, I'll sell it cheap. Problem is, I have to get it off the bike in order to sell it to you (or anybody) cheap. I have a rather busy schedule. Not sure when I'll have an opportunity to do that. But if your bike isn't ridden in the winter, I'm sure I can get it to you by riding season. I have to change tires soon. There is a good chance I can make the collar swap at that time. PM me if interested. bb EDIT: Edited this post for clarity. The quality of the lowering collar is great and it works perfectly. I did not mean to imply by my wording that it was not good stuff. It works perfectly.
