What do you call that thing anyways, a U-bolt? That thing has been on ebay for ever.

I think it looks pretty cool, actually. Gotta wonder though if it's a frankenstein bike made from a couple wrecked ones...

Why else would someone do all that?

I bid on that bike twice back in September & October - but the reserve was never reached.

I called to find out what the stinkin' reserve was and at the time they had it at 7 or 8 grand!

I opted for a '04 xb12s for under $4k........

been likin' it ever since!

Likewise, I called them a month or so ago to find out what the reserve was and the guy told me $8900! I think it will be for sale for many years to come........

I love that bike. If it had been in my budget I would have bought it.

I don't get the Ulysses part.

It looks like an XB12Ss with a Firebolt front end and a race kit.

Not that big of a deal in my book unless I'm blind to a bigger picture

Ulysses suspension front and rear. S tail. R front.

I like it.

Uly suspension??

The distance between top fender bolt and bottom of fork tube appears standard R/S distance. May be TT forks at best.

Rear shock looks like the Buell Pro series (red spring). I don't see the big preload wheel that the Uly shock has.

I have to take another look tomorrow when I'm more awake and the eyes ain't so fuzzy.

I'm still not seeing any Uly parts : (

My bet would be that the frame and motor is from a Ulysses but nothing else is... I had this idea back in 06' right after i bought my Uly... Looks like it would be a fun bike if the price was right...

collectable trader usually has nice, clear titled stuff at max pricing. i have watched a lot of their auctions never make reserve. never have bought anything from them.
