Hello! Does anyone know or had experience swapping the subframes from a Lightning onto a Ully? There is a complete rear end subframe on US eBay with the undertray, battery tray etc off of a XB9 Lightning but I’m lead to believe the subframe mounts are wider on a Ully as the frame is different. Is this correct? Thanks |

Just read the thread that Nutah sent me on the Buell Bomber and from that, the 9 subframe is not a direct bolt on! Oh 8ollocks!! |

There is a almost complete SS tail section on eBay available. It's in the US ,so you have import costs etc. |

 Have you thought about using /altering what you already have. you can modify the existing seat rails as all the holes are already there,just kneed tapping out. you can then fit a lightning long/St seat. This is more comfortable and suits the bike better IMHO. You kneed to move seat lock and modify your undertray as it kneeds to be shorter all easy jobs (cheap).

Will have a look at doing that as finding all of the SS parts are proving difficult. |
