Young lady I know is thinking of a Firebolt. Did they make a low version for the R ? If so, what years? | ||

No. But I'm sure you could swap the suspension peices. You're kind of stuck with the seat hieght though. | ||
| Gentleman_jon |
Yep, that's what I thought. Has anyone swapped out the suspenders? Any issues? | ||

Let's see how complicated we can make this.  She could get a bolt, put short suspenders on it. She could get a bolt, put short suspenders on it, and trade out the tail for an S tail, get a short seat. She could get a Lightning Sg, trade out the top triple for an R, put the clutch cable through the head light. Ditto, but get a tall lightning, trade out the suspenders, Then the triple, and get the low seat. Any other ideas, my brothers? | ||

We did it already. We took an XB9S low's suspension (Black_sunshine's) and swapped it out with an XB9R's (rebecca's) suspension. Worked great! The R after was a hoot to ride, much more responsive IMO. There are pictures of the swap (not step by step, more like party pictures, you know what it's like when you get a bunch of 3%ers together!) in the 3%er's section. Brian, Diablobrian has done the swap as well. It's a straight forward swap. | ||

This guy is Johnny Turbo here in Florida, he was on Superbikes with Bobby from Roaring Toyz, also in Sarasota, anyway when I sold bikes I met a lady that had a Buell he lowered for her, it was really well done and he is a Turbo guru, makes some very fast bikes. http://www.exoticycle.com/index2.htm |
