Here are some of the common alternatives - some not so cheap.

Dr.P,also try the DennisKirk and J&P Cycles websites and check the signals in both the HD and metric bike "catalogs". I really like my Kuryakyns. They are somewhat spendy but the build quality is awesome.

:-D

Pat,when I painted my stockers I just wiped them down with a degreaser/wax remover and sprayed them. I`ve had good luck with Krylon Fusion,Duplicolor gloss black enamel and even Hammerite.[the REAL stuff,not the Krylon version].The chrome on the lights isn`t metallic,so really no need to rough them up first.

IMO,you guys can`t go too wrong with any of your rigs. I mostly gas weld my stuff,but I have a little Lincoln HD100 wirefeeder that runs on 110v. Its a simple 4 position heat range and will run at the end of a 50' 12-3 extension cord.I run it off my work trucks Honda 5000 generator with the auto-throttle switched off.I use the .035 flux core too and had no problems burning in a C notch kit in my 72 Chev PU. And like you say,the kits are cheap for aluminum.
