My wife wants to get an XB9R, she likes the ride position and everything about my 05 xb12R except she cant touch the ground.

She's 5'2", and her current 95 Kawi Ninjas been lowered to a seet hight of 28.25". She could get the SCG but she doesnt like the look. So the question is how would you go upon lowering an XB9R?

I think I can take an SCG suspension and do a swap, but is there an easier and quicker solution?

The scg swap (forks, shock, kickstand, and lower triple on some bikes) is about as easy as it gets. I did it on mine, and
total time wrenching was about an hour. I have an 03 so I did not have to swap the triple though.

would you need the lower triple on an 03,04, 05, or 06???

Just curious, how much did the scg parts cost you and how much did you get for the stop parts?

BTW, thank you greatly for the reply and help!
