There are some aftermarket carbon replacement screens for it. I would get one myself, but I don't want to give up the hero blue. | ||

there is talk of some guys switching to the Uly fly screen because it offers so much more protection, but I think you also have to change out the Aluminum mount that holds the speed-o and everything else. | ||

it would be cool if someone with access to digital pdf copies of both the lightning and ulysses service and/or parts-assembly manuals do screen captures and post the exploded views side-by-side. Hi Roly, didn't mean to hijack your thread w/interest assimilating ulysses components onto lightnings. You might recall this thread from a week ago: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/146226.html Seems to be few products exclusively made for lightnings and still kind of a custom mod thing. For 3-4" taller protection you might consider: Extended 3.5" Carbon Flyscreen (American Sport Bike) Flyscreen w/Windshield (Hillbilly-Motors-Motors) I haven't heard of anyone getting one of these yet. http://www.hillbilly-motors.com/html/jp_graphic.html Custom/Universal Deflection Wing/Flyscreen http://www.saeng.com http://www.nationalcycle.com/catalogue/FramesetFlyscreens.html http://laminarlip.com/ http://www.maier-mfg.com/shop.cfm?action=list&page=list.cfm&criteria=401&makeid=100 Zero Gravity has not released their Lightning windshields yet as far as I know. http://www.zerogravity-racing.com/sportbikes/buell_sptbks/buellsptbks.htm You might want to contact them, I'm interested in what they come up with..

that would be very useful, guys have been grafting R parts on to the S and vise versa for a while now, sooner then later the Uly parts will start getting traded around too | ||

That is an interesting idea. I might look through the Uly parts book at my local dealer tomorrow and see if I can come up with at least a parts list or maybe even get copies to put up here. | ||

fyi, posted screenshots request in the 'big, bad & dirty' adventure section; also, noticed someone mentioned that CORBIN is going to sell a trim tab fairing (which directs air up and around you) for the uly and that they just got the windshield/fairing out of tooling.. Depending how tall you are, the stock uly setup may direct air at your torso which gets tiring on long distance highway treks for some. | ||

thanks johnb for the web adds, will be checking them out,roly | ||

someone mentioned it was probably not a good idea to post copyrighted buell parts manual pics to pursue our uly/lightning assimilation effort and i'm not interested in buying a uly cd at this time. think i'll just rig a peice of lexan up front for the badweather. my bad. i fold. your call. | ||

To add to the folding: I swapped emails with the Laminar Lip folks back in July. It seems they won't sell a 'universal' with a sporty curvature, or recommend one of their products for fitting to a Firebolt, unless someone first brings their scoot out to the Laminar shop for a proper fitting. I appreciated their dedication but was frustrated by the distance from southwest Michigan to SoCal and back... I eventually bought a Saeng Wing-Tip in August. They had catalog listings/product recommendations for Firebolts, though they're priced a bit higher than the competition. I will post a review later this fall. I still haven't had time to install it, let alone go for a decent ride with the thing in place. |
