OK,

I am ready to pull the plug on a XB9, but it is the low version. What is the seat height on the XB9SL?? I cant find it on the www! Also, he has an after-market Corbin seat installed. I dont know if that will affect the seat height calculation at all? FWIW, I am 5-11' and moving up from a Blast low model (25.5 seat height). I felt crowded (a little bit) on the Blast. Will I feel crowded on the low version XB. Also, can the height be adjusted to the same height as a standard XB on the low model. Thanks.

For the XB12cg vs XB12S (should be similar or identical to the XB9SL vs. XB9S)

Low: 28.6
Regular: 30.1

According to http://www.buell.com/en_us/bikes_gear/lightning/xb12scg/index.asp

Click on Specs and Pricing for all the details.

The Corbin seat is most likely thicker than the Low seat; guess about 1/2" to 1".

No, the Low can't be "adjusted" to regular height. It would involve replacing rear shock, front fork legs and springs, etc.

Have fun on the new bike!

Bill

If possible, it might be perfect if you just get a stock xb9 city cross seat, they're really padded and it would probably be a great and cushy height for you. I'm not 100% sure it fits your model, but I'm sure DaveS knows, and there are usually a couple on ebay.
