it is new, 49 miles, but it has been "molested" by a dealer, I think for the better, tell me what yall think.
They did the Cherry bomb Treatment to it, including the red wheels.
and they tried to sell it to a shorter customer, so they actually installed a the rear shock from a Xb9sl...........
How will this effect the handling, do I need to adjust the front forks, will my geometry be funky?

I like it, then again mine was a cherry bomb red to, now it changed to blue. Will probably change back and forth.. I would wonder about the suspension... I don't know myself but if it were me I would try to find somebody who does.

I am concerned about the suspension, I guess worse case scenario is to re-install the original shock. They are checking to see if its still around..................

That's not an XB9 shock on your bike.
IIRC, only the STTs came with a white spring.

Here's a pic of my 2007 STT... REALLY naked, showing the white spring...

It still has the stock suspension as far as I can tell in your pic

That looks like the STT from Bartels, it has been for sale a long time. At least a Badweb person picked it up.

Didn't you just sell a white 07 stt last week?

Btw, I bought one ( 07 yellow/orange ) last week and will be picking it up and riding it back ( 550 miles ) in two weeks.

if it is the low shock from an xb9sl, can I have it? I'll trade you the stock shock from my xb9s

being 5'1" I can use all the help I can get, the low seat only did so much and with it's very little padding. . . not always the most comfortable ride.

Yes, I sold my white Stt! I had a tax issue! and was forced to sell, the tax issue was resolved in my favor and so I no longer needed to sell, but had already commited the bike to somebody else and they had paid me for it.................

So I was back in the market again for an XB.

Yes it came from Bartels Harley in Marina Del Rey. Maybe the salesman doesn't know what he is talking about, or maybe these pics were taken before they swapped out the rear shock.

If I do need to replace the shock back to stock, do I need the white springed STT shock?

just got confirmation the spring is yellow........
this might be a good thing, since I'm having trouble paddling around on my old Stt due to its heighth,

When I installed a lowering block for a Kawasaki Versy I had, they recommended I lower the front forks 3/4 inch. If I keep the yellow shock on this Stt should I adjust the front forks?

You can lower the front a little bit but you ARE much better off putting an original shock (as others have said)

Ok, I'll hope they still have the original shock and I will get it swapped back in place..................
Thanks

Try dropping the front on the tubes. Can't recall but if you do have the "low" shock on the back, you'd want about a 1 inch drop (or more) on the front to bring it back in balance.

One of my badweb brothers has offered me a white shock so I'm set. Now I need to order a right side scoop and a Buell comfort kit to mitigate the heat on the right side of the bike......................
I'm also gonna order another set of drop pegs and 1" risers for a more relaxed riding position. I'll probably do the drummer once I receive the bike.

Looks great in red!!! Get them to cough up the fork guards (to protect your sliders) and paint them black.

Welcome back to the STT world!

Good choice! You will have no regrets. I would only change the seat as said over the phone as the stock one does not offer much support.

one more teaser ...

Yeah enjoy your new scary-time-torque-monster!

DangerDaves video sold me on the damn thing too. Us tall guys don't have much in the way of sporting bikes on the market so this STT was a real bonus.
