I'm trying to find out if the Ulysses windscreen/windshied attaches to the motorcycle frame the same way the Lightning's windscreen attaches. You see, I currently own a Suzuki DR650 dual sport bike. One of the drawbacks of this bike is it has nothing in the way of a fairing or windshield, just a small number plate. Many of the DR owners have taken to mounting the Buell Lightning's flyscreen to the DR to act as a mini-fairing (see this post for more info: http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=300858&highlight=buell+headlig ht It actually works quite well from all reports. I however want to take it a step further. I love the Uly, and I think the bigger screen with the windshield would look superb on my DR. So again, can anyone tell me if the Uly's windscreen/shield attaches in about the same way as the Lightning's? Thanks much all.   Captainxb Posted on Thursday, July 27, 2006 - 11:09 am:        Rocky, yes the Uly's windscreen/shield "attaches to the motorcycle frame the same way the Lightning's windscreen attaches." The difference is where the mounting holes are. This is why they are not interchangeable. So should work OK for your project.   Rockymountainhigh Posted on Thursday, July 27, 2006 - 03:46 pm:        Thanks much for the feedback Captainxb, much appreciated. Can you tell me where the mounting holes are on the Uly's bracket as opposed to the Lightning's? That is, I'm assuming the bottom part of the Uly's bracket attaches to the headlight assembly as with the Lightning's, but possibly the top bracekts are higher up than the Lightning's? Is there a difference in how far apart the mounting holes are on the Uly as opposed to the Lightning's? Only assuming this because of the size difference of the screens. You said you think the Uly screen would work ok for my project. By chance, did you look at the link I posted previously to see exactly what DR owners are doing with the Lightning screen? My only concern before I go out and spend the money on the parts, are the differences in mounting holes on the Uly's. I wasn't sure if I could get them to match up as with the Lightning's. Again, I appreciate your info here. I tried looking at the screen setup on a Uly in the showroom, but it was hard to see exactly how it mounted up.
