Is there a handle bars conversion kit for a 2006 ulysses xb12r? I want to change riding posture to a more aggressive position. The stock position is awkward and the wind beats the crap out of me any help would be appreciated. Ive searched the internet haven't found much to help then again I'm not quite sure what I'm looking.

Just buy a 7/8" handlebar with a lower "rise". I'm 6'3" and a Renthal RC ultra low rise leans me into the wind perfectly neutral at highways speeds. YMMV.

You may need to get creative with the throttle housing / cable routing, I rotated my throttle forward a good amount to keep the cables happy without binding, Brake line will also be a bit unhappy with a much lower bar, I just let mine deal with a tighter bend than ideal, really should get a shorter line made.
I may have a pre-tested set of bars I could sell too...

Good point Kurlon, lower bars could make the starter or horn button slam into the airbag cover at full lock too.

I raced with a set of Renthal Road Ultra Low bars, they were close on my 08, but didn't hit the airbox. I did have them moderately rolled forward for aggressiveness.
I have a set of no rise Renthal Superbike bars, you would absolutely need new throttle and brake cables to make them work at a minimum. For it's return to street duty I have a set of Renthal Road Bike High bars, a little less rise than OEM, no issues with OEM cables, might be the happy middle ground needed here?
