I know this subject appears a lot, but I wanted a clear answer on this one. Does the 2010 Ulysses come with the same RSS as in the rider comfort kit? And, I read that the overseas 2010 Ulysses came with the smaller RSS. What is the part number of this unit, and does it work almost as well? One last question. Has anyone seen the RSS that was being sold for the XB12XP? I figure it would have to be smaller to clear the siren. Does it look weird without the siren?

Yes.

Yes. The large scoop will not clear the header on catalytic converter equipped models.

Which one? All the various comfort kits are listed on the Buell website.

I would have to find pics, but it is the large scoop with a section cut out of it to clear the siren. Yes it does look out of place without the siren.

The XP scoop is the large one, and does have the chunk missing from it. I know, ordered mine as soon as available and of course got the XP version. Looks weird works fine.

Thanks for all the quick responses. My last question is, do you think the 2010 small scoop is less efficient than the big one?

Probably.

The Ulysses has the most "sealed up" tail section out of the XB family...and it's the heaviest...and the most likely to be (over)loaded with gear. So they put a bigget scoop on it. That tells me the bigger scoop...well...scoops more air. : )
