04/05 XB12S Lightning

Zero percent Ulysses, it predates them.

It's the venerable street fighter gas mask mod, if I'm not mistaken.

Look closely at the headlights. It has had the "gas mask" mod. It is an actual gas mask installed over the lights.

Also, the subframe has had spacers added to elevate the tail.

All in all a pretty clean looking bike.

Typeone sold it a while back, it may be for sale again.

Then again, I've seen people use pictures of my Ulysses in their Craigslist listings before, so you never know.

Here is the link. I am not interested in the bike just saw it was obviously not a Uly.

Scam. Both pics are not even the same bike. The second pic is an 06 or 07 XB12S, on top of the lack of information about the bike

Froggy,

Good catch. Now that I look closer, different turn signals, rear sprocket, brake levers, timing cover, pulley cover, mirrors on one and not the other, belt tensioner, footpegs.

Those aren't even close to being the same bike.
