I'm pondering some mods and curious about the Uly tail housing (the piece that houses the tail light). Does anyone know with certainty if it is die-cast zinc or cast aluminum? Thanks! (Message edited by WarBaby on October 31, 2006) | ||

I think it might be aluminum, but I'm not sure. | ||

Thanks Lowflyer. I think it's aluminum too because of its structural function but I've been fooled by die-cast zinc in the past (sometimes called "white metal"). I may want to do some welding on it and if it's zinc, it would just liquify and collapse. | ||

I think I would try welding on part of the inside of it. It seems like there is some material in there that you could do a test on without causing any real or cosmetic damage. | ||

It might come to that.  | ||

I can send ya some of the exploded bits off my Uly for ya ta experiment,with,the speedo pod at he pointyu end of the bike is all aluminiam alloy,as when it broke to a million peices it was as brital as hell,and the rear is made the same way,there is no way you will weld it at all in my books,even had my welder/engineer mate look at it and he said no way! | ||
