ulysses tail on firebolt

will a ulysses tail/seat fit on a firebolt

I don't know for sure but by looking at pictures and design I don't think it would with out some work. IMO it would look ridiculous.

just looking for a better 2up riding setup for a trip

No the Uly and lightning long frames are different then the xbs's and firebolts.

The top mounting points are wider on the Uly.

 

[mikeb2275]

ok thanks for your help

 

[Jornum1]

It can be done if you can fab a adapter

 

[mikeb2275]

I've thought about just getting the frame and seeing how close it was if I could find something cheap

 

[Jornum1]

I have done the opposite. I put a firebolt tail on my lightning long. I had to cut off the top mounts and machine wider ones.
In your case you PROBABLY would just need to make spacers. I have no first hand experience though.

The Ulysses and the XB12SS are the 2 closest.
My wife's SS has a Uly tail on it for bags and my daughter (as passenger). You can even keep the SS foot peg brackets but if you want to mount the Hepco-Becker hard bags then you will need to mount the Uly footpeg mounts.
