Does anybody know if a set of 1997 s3 thunderbolt hard bags would fit on a 1996 s2 thunderbolt without any major modifications?

It will require modifications. There is a bulletin here somewhere detailing the steps.

Let this thread sit for an hour or two and someone will post it here.

some one may post pictures for you ,, they have in the past.. it took a special mounting kit to attach s3 bags on a s2.. at one time you could order the kit.. i imagine it would be quite the find these days..

The main bracket L1025.8 is still available for $402.

The rest of the pieces seem to be couple-buck items and are readily available.

No hack involved with installing this kit - takes the S3 bag points (and bags), puts them on a bracket that bolts right to the S2 tail section, and voila. S2.5 saddlebags, LOL.
