Yup.
Nope, still the same. http://www.bikewalls.com/wallpaper/Buell_Ulysses_X B12X/31346131/1920x1200.html Only change was they removed the mesh part on the 08's, it is the same pipe as the 07 STT. | ||

New bearings, heck, it looks like a new bike to me... Seriously, looks like the new wheel, with the 3 bearing setup, (Message edited by thetable on September 01, 2009) | ||

Black axle is the tipoff to the 3 bearing setup. AFAIK the axle size is unchanged...just the shouldering is different. But, I have yet to put my hands on one to verify. I still have to ride our '10. How's the drivability with the second O2 sensor? I know the comfort kit does its job, I put one on my 06 and love it..just curious if they hit a second home run with the new O2. | ||

My mistake, I thought I had seen somewhere where the ID of the bearings was bigger, but, it looks as if I was wrong. I thought I had read the ID had grown too, but upon more searching it looks like it was just the OD. | ||

"How much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black." That thing looks awesome. | ||

Too •••••• sweet! I probably can't say that, but is definitely the truth. | ||

The compass rose and "X" in the Buell logo is pretty cool... | ||
| Cash |
that's bad a$$.. Seeing that makes me even more excited when my X comes in November.. | ||
| Nobuell |
Looks Good! The windscreen looks like it is shaped different than my 08XT. I wonder how it affects the wind noise? | ||

Is the check engine light amber now? | ||
| Cash |
nobuell--the X and XT come with different windscreens from the factory. The X has a shorty and the XT has the touring screen which works better IMO. | ||

I noticed they are running the clutch cable differently, no need for the cable clamp off the handlebars. | ||
| Metalstorm |
To say I'm jealous would be a huge understatement. Beautiful bike. Congrats. Enjoy!  | ||
| Trevd |
But if the clutch cable is routed differently, what's gonna block your view of the digital display? | ||
| Nobuell |
Cash, My 08XT has the larger screen. It appears from the pics and the Buell website that the 2010 screen has a different shape than my XT. It looks like the top has a lip type shape. Any reports on wind noise? | ||

The 2009 handlebars have the built in clutch retainer.  | ||

About the windshields, it might just be camera angles and such, the 2008, 2009, and 2010 look very similar. I am not aware of any changes over the years. Here is a 2008 and 2009 for reference: 08 http://www.bikewalls.com/wallpaper/Buell_Ulysses_X B12XT/311049331/1920x1200.html 09 http://www.bikewalls.com/wallpaper/Buell_Ulysses_X B12XT/311137331/1920x1200.html | ||

I like old airbox graphic better. The rest of the bike is REAL nice. --Sean | ||

Thats to funny | ||

i don't know if the windscreens any different , but i can tell you i get no wind hitting my helmet on the highway. my shoulders do take the full blast though (not that i mind , if i wanted to be out of the wind i would be in a car)  | ||
| Dcc46 |
i don't know if it's the lower seat height or the tires but confidence in the twisties is greatly improved. | ||
| Dcc46 |
i can't tell , i bought a new helmet to go with the bike and it's super loud. Scorpion exo 700 | ||
| Froggy |
Wind noise is very subjective, its affected by helmet, jacket, windshield, handlebars, your riding position, speed, environment, exhaust, and at least a dozen other factors. Short answer, buy it and try it. | ||

From these pictures, it seems to me like the 2010 shield has no upsweep at the top of the shield, which is where I was placing the blame for the buffeting I was experiencing with the stock shield. But like Froggy says, it could be just camera angles and such... | ||
| Nobuell |
Froggy/Trevd I thought the same. I checked the Buell Website and blew-up the picture and it sure looks like the 2010 has different curvature than my 08. Could be the camera angle though. Is there a different part #? | ||
| Froggy |
If there is a different part number, I don't know it and never saw it. I shall do more digging | ||
| Dcc46 |
bleh 2 days and i broke it. something about porous metal and oil is coming out thru a screw in the primary. rode it home while i wait for the part to come in , and i have green oil everywhere. (green dye to find the leak)lol my right boot is so well oiled right now. |
