Hey guys - It would be an honor to be welcomed as the latest S2 enthusiast on this great board. I have owned several other model Buells in the past and have enjoyed each for it's own unique qualities. My other ride is a 2002 M2 - which has been a load of fun and I believe will be for years to come. I picked up the pictured 95 S2 at the beginning of this year and intended to use it as a ......brace yourself !!!!DONOR!!!! for a pro-street sportster project. Well, since then I have reconsidered and have now decided to restore the bike to a street driver (and maybe occasional 1/4 miler). I enjoy reading the posts on BadWeb and do believe that the S2 is a classic motorcycle that needs to remain in existence so lucky folks out there can continue to see these fine handcrafted American motorcycles on the road - and even luckier folks (like us) can enjoy riding them! Thanks for everything BadWebbers.  | ||

Wow, Nice Bike, love the paint. But the rear tire and bodywork don't line up! Can I ask what you paid for it? I want to pick up an older S2 next to keep my X1 company. Maybe a stripped one on ebay and put an 88" motor on it from Penny or Firemanjim. Den | ||

Thanks Denfromphilly. The swingarm is extended 10" - that's why the fender does not line up. I am going to shorten it to probably somewhere in the 6 to 8 inch range to keep the drag race look but it's still gonna be out there a bit (compared to stock). 88" - I hear ya. That's what this one has in it. Fun! | ||

WHO CUT THAT BODY WORK IF HALF!!!  | ||
| Firemanjim |
My question exactly--sick sucker!! Extenuating circumstances if the other side was busted in a wreck.If not,hangin's too good fer him. | ||

JT & FMJ, If it makes you guys feel any better if I didn't cut it in half (nearly 10 years ago) it would have had to have been thrown away. I think FMJ will be able to figure out the rest of the story... Requisite S2 pic:  1313 | ||

...I'm not sure that the RR series had the reliability of the S2's...however, there are few problems in the mechanical world that cannot be 'overcome' with the correct tools and skills. | ||
