Post subject: | XB12SCG Seat |
Hi, Ive got a 2009 XB12SCG and its a little bit too low for me, not much but enough that I was wondering if a seat from an XB12SS would fit? Does anyone know if it's a straight drop on or won't fit at all? Thanks |

I don’t think it will fit as the Ss model is a stretch model with altered rear seat rails and from what l have seen l would guess that the seat is closer or identical to a Ulysses seat. ![]() ![]() The answer to your needs may be at hand though. The Scg standard seat is identical to a standard XB12s Lightning seat, but has around 3/4 inch less foam under the bum. If a standard Lightning seat is still to low you could try and find a 9SX seat which were the most deep padded, or high. The XB12 TT was also similarly padded as a 9SX or may be the same seat so may fit. ![]() I fitted an XB12 seat to my 9SX as the standard seat was too high for me. I tried an Scg seat on mine but that was a bit too hard as well. ![]() Buell also made a special ‘contour’ seat which is somewhere between a standard Lightning and an SX seat. This was available for a short time and is very hard to find now. ![]() Deep isn’t it? ![]() |

What a fantastic answer! Thanks very much indeed! Ok, Ill have a good look around for an XB12S seat and see what I find. Yes, flickable. Ive also got a KTM 1290 Superduke, which is fantastic, but the Buell is just a superb place to be. The KTM will bite me if I dont concentrate but the Buell feels like a magic carpet with a big grin on. Thanks for sharing the knowledge ![]() |

If you're having issues with the seat being too low why not have the padding thickened by your local motor upholster. |
