I know many of you have done and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea about price and parts needed. I have an 96 xb12ss and would like t convert it to a uly tail.

I know Froggy did and was wondering if anyone could help me out.

A 96 xb12ss? You must of gotten a prototype!


Anyway, I recently got PM'ed about it, so here was my reply.


quote:

I ended up buying a used tail section on Ebay off a wrecked bike, it
saved me a ton of cash. Anyway you would need the following just for
converting the tail section.


L0046.1AKYBQ TAILSECTION STRUCTURAL CTR,MAGNESIUM TON Retail
Price:$193.00
L0009.1AKYBQ TAILSECTION, RH, MAGNESIUM TONE Retail Price:$112.00
L0010.1AKYBQ TAILSECTION, LH, MAGNESIUM TONE Retail Price:$112.00
L0076.1AKA BATTERY PAN Retail Price:$41.65
M0075.1AK TRUNK PAN ASSY Retail Price:$34.95
Y0401.1AKC TAIL LIGHT Retail Price:$57.00
M0755.1AK BRACKET, LICENSE PLATE Retail Price:$23.80

You would still need a seat, depending on which one, thats either $110
or $200 more. You could get away with reusing the SS tail section
rails if you are willing to drill holes.

Optional, but recommended you can get the grab rails, triple tail, and
Uly foot pegs/mounts

N0526.1AKYBP FOOTREST SUPPORT,RIDER,LH,GRAPHITE GREY Retail Price:$159.00
N0527.1AKYBP FOOTREST SUPPORT,RIDER,RH,GRAPHITE GREY Retail
Price:$159.00
N1016.1AK TAIL RACK W/GRAPHIC Retail Price:$105.00
N0008.1AKBYBQ HANDLE, GRAB, PASS LH, MAGNESIUM TONE Retail
Price:$59.20
N0009.1AKFYBQ HANDLE GRAB, PASS RH, MAGNESIUM TONE Retail Price:$59.20
C0083.1AK COLLAR, TAIL RACK Retail Price:$5.20
N0018.1AK TAIL RACK DETENT Retail Price:$3.83
N1027.1AK HELMET LOCK W/KEYS Retail Price:$57.50
H0205.1AK MASTER CYLINDER, REAR Retail Price:$57.80
H1522.1AK BRAKE LINE ASSY, REAR Retail Price:$43.35
H0419.1AK BRACKET, REAR BRAKE LINE Retail Price:$6.60
N0006.1AK FOOTPEG KIT, RIDER, LEFT AND RIGHT Retail Price:$86.55
N0042.1AK FOOTPEG KIT, PASSENGER, LEFT AND RIGHT Retail Price:$92.65
N0320.1AK SHIFT LINKAGE ASSY Retail Price:$22.95
N0802.1AK BRACKET, SHIFTER Retail Price:$19.50


Thats the majority of it. There is a handful of fasteners and other
pieces you need, but I don't have the numbers handy. Also the wiring
is different, you will need to splice wires to get the tail light to
work, and get creative to mount the battery and fuses.

Hey Froggy, I dont me to jack somebodys thread but I've got a couple questions, if you dont mind.

1. Do you know what the difference is between the master cylinders on the Uly and the Super TT?

2. What is the difference in the shift linkage?

3. They both use the same brake pedal?

4. Is there a major difference in the tails? Other than length, of course. Would I run into any weirdness using Uly footrest supports with the Super TT tail?

The reason I ask. I just got a Super TT and am trying to get the ergos more like the Uly. If there is a cheaper or easier way to do it, I'm all ears. Thanks!

1, The MC is the same as far as I know, just the brake line is longer on the Uly because of the lower foot peg mounts.

2, Also due to the difference with lower peg mounts, you need to change a few pieces of the linkage to make them reach the lower pegs, or be like me and just lift your foot every time you shift.

3, Yup

4, The tails are similar. The advantages of the Uly tail were the bracket mounts for the bags, better/larger seats, the triple tail, real helmet lock, and some underseat storage.

The Uly footpeg mounts will bolt right up, just be aware of the fact you will need to replace the brake line and the shift linkage. Also like stated in my previous post, it will be a little pricy. There are pics on Badweb of people putting the Uly peg mounts on non-uly bikes, I don't have any handy.
