Buell® Suspension Kit

will it fit my bike to stiffen up the ride? I corner hard and have bottomed out my suspension twice now maybe three times and all this cant be good for the fork seals I still have some preload that I can dial in on the front but the back is maxed out... its set for 2 weight classes heavier than I am and I still want more, any help out there for me?

I'm crossing my fingers that I can just drop in the Buell race springs and call it done... but it says they will fit 05 and later xb9sl was there a fork change in 05?

Front forks were changed in 05, others here have said that the newer springs won't fit the older forks.

I haven't heard about a change to the rear shock, so an upgraded spring should fit the rear.

on that note could I just use an xb12r or S rear spring that isn't from a lowered model to stiffen up a bit? or are they the same thing as my SL? and what about that same idea applied to the forks?
