If you don't have any luck finding a used set give Ed Kwaterski at TrackSide Engineering a call, 414-453-6720, Wisconsin. He can respring and revalve your existing forks to what ever you want.

He does alot of Uly's the other way for DaveS at Appleton plus just about every Buell race suspension in the area. It might actually be cheaper, too.

I've got a pair of '04 XB12R Firebolt fork springs and rear shock spring if it will help you though.

Yeags30, standard height suspension from 04 will work too. They're the same size as 03.

& don't forget the kickstand : )

Buellshyter,
In 03 I had the choice of a standard 9 or a low 9, both on the showroom floor.
I bought the standard.
