If you install ulysses handlebars on an xb12s, do you need the ulysses front brake line and throttle cables? Is the "s" stuff going to be too short?

Your are changing the cables, all of them, you only have an inch of play there. The uly bars are closer to needing 3. You can however put the Blast bars right on without lengthening cables. These will bring you more up right, but are still a bit narrow. They do work great for riding off road though ; )

Still have not got my old frame going??

I cant wait to see it!

You might need Uly Clutch and Throttle cables, for the brake line I would use a City x, The Uly brake line is LOOOONG because of the added suspension travel.

I bought "S" model brake line and throttle cables from buell. Is it even worth it to try to see if they will work with uslyses bar?

I havent removed them from the bags because I want to be able to return them if they wont work.. but then again.. I bought those months ago lol! I dont know if buell will take them back anyway.
