Just curios how to get a 05 xb12 'bolt lower. I'm thinking about picking one up for my girl this weekend but it's a tad tall for her.

Is there a low seat and is there anything else I can do?

Possibly lower the tree on the forks about an inch, and the rear shock is height adjustable right?

The SCG has different front forks, rear shock, lower cut seat, and shorter kickstand.

There isn't much you can do for the Firebolt other than swapping the suspension and kickstand. You can have the stock seat reworked to lower it a bit, but you aren't going to gain much. There are no aftermarket seats that I know of that are lower, in fact most raise about an inch.

On my '07R I have the trees lowered on the forks about 1.5" and a modified yellow rear shock. I am 5'6"ish and can stand flat footed.

I'm 5'4" and to tell you the truth, while I like looking at other bikes and drooling, NOTHING fits better than my SCG, NOTHING.

In combination with the weight it's actually easier for me to ride and move around than the honda shadow that I had before.

I'd never get rid of my scg......
