I just bought a 98 Buell M2 and besides a strong motor/tranny and good frt. end, the rest of it is toast. If you stop by I'll show you. I need a chopper frame (not to low) that will accept the front end/rim and brake and the rear rim and brake/sprocket. Who can I talk to that has done this. I allready have a 2000 M2 that is great. But the "98" I do not wish to part it out just transform it. I have looked at after market kits but I do not know if I can use the front and rear parts. To many to look at and somewhat confusing. I like the same tire sizes as stock not the small front and the super big rear. Any help will be appreciated. Jim.

The Redneck Engineering site says:
KITS ARE DESIGNED TO UTILIZE MOST MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE DONOR BIKE POWER TRAIN PACKAGE. THEY INCLUDE THE WHEELS, TIRES, BRAKES AND FRONT END.


I know, they don't have a caps lock button, those rednecks ! But I would expect most any kit could use the front end, at least.

Thanks all. Just see my other posting in Do It Yourself. I do not wish to repeat myself but I can and will if I need to. Thank you very much. Please continue to critique me as you need to. I appreciate it. A Project In Flux. Jim.

Thanks for the advice but I'm doing all the fabrication myself. I've got a stick welder but borrowed a MIG from a Buddy. Mounting the tank is going to be the worst. But the oil tank is done and the rear fender is almost done. It seems 3/4 of the time is just sitting there looking at it and deciding how best to do the job.
