I'm no shorty at 6ft, but still found that the Ulysses tall riding position can catch me out in tight places, mainly due to the lack of steering lock. Anyway, a friend who is building a special XB sold me his surplus forks and monoshock off his stripped down XB12STT Lightning, and I've fitted these to my Uly. These units are getting on for 2 inches shorter than the originals. Apart from needing to shorten the sidestand, can anyone see any pitfalls with this set up? |

I believe you now basically have the same set up as an XT ![]() |
