Hah good luck! I had luck posting a add on craigslist and after two weeks i found a guy with a lightning 30 mins from home swapped tails and it worked out great for me maybe you could have the same luck but at least its more local. good luck my freind.

Keep your eye open on the forums. I had one in less than a month and was also able to snag a select seat which are supposed to be rare.
Good luck!

I find that site but noticed they have none in stock. Is there a lot of turnover? Just keep checking?

parts come and go on buellster parts. keep checking daily as they go fast. you could also order directly from harley as all you would need are the rails, underpan/trunk, and cheesegrater. I would also order the s reservoir as the r reservoir does not mount properly.

I think my 1125rs is different from both of them

probably. But the lightning specific reservoir mounts to the frame.

Not a great picture but that is the reservoir bolted to the right rail

Just order the rails from Buellparts.net!! Just email them the rails will cost you like 300ish! But trust me it's much easier and you wont have the issues I have had!!!! I haven't rode since June sooooo up to you!!

It is really a sellers market. Mine cost around $300. New is $650ish I believe.
