Any one put risers on an Ulysses?

these are the ones that I got, but it seems impossible to be able to get to the bolts to tighten them down. anyone else have this? If so How did you get them on?

I have those, they work great for me. Pre-tighten the bolts under the bars/risers then move them into place and torque down the ones you can get at. The other ones will then be tight.

well got them on!!! Thanks for the help. I also put a taller windshield on there and new footpegs. Like I said, I am going on a trip this week. Hope to do a few thousand miles on this ride. Never had the Buell out on a long ride yet. I always take the Ultra, but this week she is going to stay home. Damn Hope she don't get mad....

Has anyone had issues with clutch and throttle cable length? Have thought of risers but don't want to deal with getting new cables.

I think you can buy the same one from Rox that have been updated to fit the Buell for less at http://www.roxspeedfx.com/cgi-bin/cart/showitems.c gi?subcat_id=268 they list them for $98.00

Throttle cables are right at their limit on mine (see picture). The rise doesn't seem to bother them but a lot of pull-back will bind the cables. Clutch seems to have lots of length. The brake line banjo bolt needs to be loosened and the line re-positioned. It helps to have someone lightly squeeze the brake to keep air out of the line while doing it. DAMHIK.

I had no trouble with cables on mine, but a friend did have to reroute the throttle cable, he was using more pull back than I was.

I've got mine pretty far back and all the way up and when I turn the bars fully right the throttle tube turns... I am goingto reposition the risers to see if I can get some play if not I'll reposition the cables.
