Does anyone know of any replacement bars that are a little higher than the stock ones that will not require new cables or controls. The width is fine
Thanks Paul

Check with Heli Modified in Cornish Maine. they specialize in making touring modifications. Their web site is www,helibars.com if they dont have it yet suggest it ti them.

I had one of their triple trees on my xb12R and it brought my bars up and back 3 1/2 inches total

SW Motec has a set of risers that are 1" higher and 1" back, that do a great job. Much easier than replacing the handle bars.

We got ours from AdventureWarehouse. Found them on Advrider.com

Good Luck

Hey Buelldualsport, I was alll over Advrider.com and did searches and then went looking for AdventureWarehouse with different search engines, and I was not able to find anything. It sounds like these risers are exactly what I am looking for. Could you give me better directions on how to find them? Much appreciated

Ok, I'm a Dunce...

I have watched this thread since it was originally posted. I have been looking for handlebar risers for a Ulysses for many months. I started looking for risers several months prior to me buying my Ulysses in May.

I have checked out the sites and links posted in this Thread. I have searched this site and other sites. I have searched the Web. I have checked with my Dealer...

I have not found handlebar risers that will fit a Ulysses. I have certainly found plenty of risers for many bikes. However, a set of risers that will work on a Ulysses, seems to elude me.

The Ulysses bar clamp pattern, which is at an angle to the handlebar, and is not square with the handlebar, seems to be a unique Buell pattern.

Folks have told me that such a critter is available, but so far, I have not found them for a Ulysses.

Where am I going wrong?... Help!

Thanks!

Check the Trojan-Horse store.
There are ones for the XBS models.
Aren't the Ulysses the same setup?
