Hey all,

Looking for some suggestions. Im getting some small scratches on my frame (gas tank) specifically where my pants/gear rub against the frames...I remember seeing some XB's with what looked like an adhesive Carbon Fiber cover lining the whole side of the frame. Anyone know where I can find this product for my Ulysses? Im not having any luck...and Im not crazy about the cheap "fake" carbon fiber sticker for sale at the local shops...

Any help would be great.

I have them on my XB9R - I got them from Trojan (across the pond). I'm not sure if American Sport Bike sells them or not. They aren't cheap by any stretch, but they look purdy. ; ) I got them mainly as a protective alternative to disassembling my bike to paint the frame. You can get one view of them from my profile.

Thanks Darthane,

I dont think the XB9 or 12 Carbon fits the Uly frame....which is the problem I'm facing...

No, I'm sure they don't - but I'd check with Torjan-Horse and see if they make them for the Ulysses as well.

Thanks smpl5....not what I had in mind. I found a place that I can buy the Carbon Fiber panels, but Id need to cut them to fit...not confident that the final cut product would look or fit right : ) Need to find something good, out the box!
