Wtb pair of lightning S seat rails and tail housing

[BuellyBagger]

I'm in need of a pair of seat rails (rear subframe) and the tail (the aluminum tail light housing and plate bracket holder). Chopped or unchopped doesnt matter, and a taillight. Cosmetics dont matter much as I can easily paint them, price is more important. PM me if you've got anything. Thanks!

Update: I repaired my tail section and ordered rails from ebay. So Just really in need of a brake light

This threads from last year but thanks for the offer, Cooter! Dont even have that bike no more.

As to the welding I used a Miller 350p pulse MIG welder the same thing to use to repair Ford pickups in the body shop I work at

Thats funny, I responded thinking it was recent, hee hee Thats a big Miller! I've had a MillerMatic 250 for at least 20 years. The start circuit is a little rough so it's not the best choice for small stuff but she will burn beautiful beads on trailer hitches and roll cages

Yeah, it's a pretty stout welder. It seems backwards, I know, but you actually need a lot more amperage to weld aluminum than steel.
