Author Message   Lexhere27 Posted on Wednesday, February 09, 2011 - 09:25 pm:        Anyone have the 12x rear shock and strut combo collecting dust in the garage?   Skinstains Posted on Wednesday, February 09, 2011 - 10:10 pm:        I'm not sure I know what you mean by shock "and strut". I bought a Uly shock from someone here on the board for $75. I bought it as a temp. unit to use on my bike while my stock one was being rebuilt. I never got to use it as they just built me a whole new shock. I'll give it to you for what I paid + shipping.   Jasonb Posted on Thursday, February 10, 2011 - 09:23 pm:        I have the rear shock and spring on my bike that I'm looking to swap for a TT rear setup if anyone wants to sell/trade me. Jason   Lexhere27 Posted on Sunday, February 13, 2011 - 12:35 am:        skin can you send pics to alex.silseth@hotmail.com jason there were two people selling tt   Lexhere27 Posted on Monday, February 14, 2011 - 09:57 pm:        just to clarify, I am looking for the XBX spring and strut combo. if anyone knows the if their are any differences between years I would appreciate it.   Froggy Posted on Monday, February 14, 2011 - 10:10 pm:        Lex, all years of XB12X and XP use the same rear shock. It was the XT, SS, and TT that was different (shorter)   Skinstains Posted on Tuesday, February 15, 2011 - 01:55 am:        I sent pictures to your email. Did you get them ?   Lexhere27 Posted on Thursday, February 17, 2011 - 08:44 am:        Jason can you send me pics of your rear suspension? Froggy what do you mean shorter for the longer framed XBs, Skin I got your pics just trying to sort out info about the differences between all the different models and their correspoding susensions.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Thursday, February 17, 2011 - 04:30 pm:        Hope this is helpful to! Buell XB shock lengths in inches: S/R 14.0 SS 13.625 STT 14.25 X 15.0 The difference from the earlier and later XB,s is the swingarm and mounting point on swing arm and frame so the shocks are also mounted under a different angle.   Lexhere27 Posted on Saturday, February 19, 2011 - 01:00 am:        Thanks Brother, exactly the info I was looking for my build.   Gringo Posted on Thursday, February 24, 2011 - 11:05 am:        with all that being said, im in the market for a shock for an SS. according to froggy it would be for an 06 to 08 that i want. and what gives with this lowering kit thingy? looks like it would reposition the spring by giving up some preload tension, thereby lowering the bike. but whoah, that means youd be running effectively a weaker shock or less (a lot) preload. can that be a good thing? im thinking if one really wants to do that sort of thing he should find a replacement spring that gives near factory designed support but is shorter, so it would probably be a fatter coil but shorter. any injineers out there?   Arctic9r Posted on Tuesday, March 01, 2011 - 01:05 pm:        what! this thread hasn't been blasted by the BADWEB Sheriff's that have nothing better to do!
