after chatting with pash it looks like we have the low seat fitted to my missis xb12x , and its still a bit tall for her were looking at lowering the suspention , maybe she should have bought a xt but hey its done now plus its a very clean bike with only 825 miles on the clock looking for some forks and rear shock from a xt , ss or a stt ? any1 breaking a bike ect ? cheers Lee |

STT has higher suspension than the SS models, dunno if it is as high as the X and XT though. STT is a pretty high bike - I'm 5' 11" and can't put both feet flat on the floor (until the wife gets on the back) |

the bloke had it done for him , its still got the original forks something about shorter spacers in the forks and a revalve again its the original rear shock with a shorter spring and a spacing block setup i didnt get much of a look last nite , i managed to get a lift up in a truck from a company i work for , got to manchester a half 11 , only took 2 hours 45mins to get home with 2 fag stops , manchester to shepton mallet i shall have a better look at whats been done over the weekend , but it rides well , no dipping on the front end under braking like a standard x , it feels a bit firmer as well very happy with it , just need to see what the missis thinks |
