If you have an M2 with an aftermarket or modified stock tail, post a picture of it. I'd love to see it. | ||

there is an m2 under there somewhere, its an s1 tail  | ||
| Moosestang |
The s1 tail looks great. Do you have to cut the frame to make that fit? | ||

 Tail section of the frame is cut to fit this S1 tail. Ralph | ||

Here's an old link (with a link) that shows a whole bunch of us going hogwild with dremels, welders, hammers, and tongs on our M2 tails. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/325156.html?1198051726 Some good stuff there. | ||

I've got the Airtech Superbike tail. Check my profile for a picture. | ||

im running a cut tail on mine for now, very soon im going to be putting on a xr750 tail on it, maybe making one out of carbon fiber. | ||

 I just finished installing a tail from a Honda CBR 600RR. I bought the parts used off eBay and painted everything black. The stock fairing and seat is way too big and ugly. Check it out here http://southhillcustoms.blogspot.com/ | ||

That does look nice. Sweetest retrofit I've seen yet. How the comfort? It looks like the tank could be a ball buster. | ||

Did this with stock Airtech stuff in California. Went to a full fairing because of my personal preference. The seat/tail is their "Manta" for M2's. Stock tank.  | ||

Yup, just check my profile for pics. I really like the look of the S1 tail. | ||

Nice job on the south hill customs bike. | ||

 Thanks Koz! Djkaplan - The tank is stock M2, stock location. The seat and everything back is off the 2003 Honda...not as plush as the stock M2, a bit firm. I welded up some basic brackets for the seat and tail...anyone could do this for under $300 and a weekend of easy fabrication. | ||

i might put my early tail back on this weekend, not sure, really liked the way it looked. | ||
| Migs16 |
im really interested in doing that but my only problem is that im 5'8" so will it heighten the ride height?? | ||
| Guell |
the old seat? it lowers it actually... but you have to have a pretty good threshold of pain... | ||
| Migs16 |
what do u mean pain like where?? | ||
| Guell |
I know what separates the early tuber guys from the later ones... a propensity for pain in the nether regions thats from dj who tried the older seat and quickly took it off. I know the later seat doesnt look as good, but its more comfortable. | ||

I cut down the front of my S1 seat a bit, gave me more stand over height and reshaping the seat makes things easier on the "nether regions". I find spending more time on my bicycle helps me cope with the seat too, it's really very plush compared to my bicycle  | ||

 I know I know, it's an S1 in a M2 thread. I cut the rear sub frame and trimmed the body work for a less is more approach. Some may like it some may hate it, just another example. | ||
| Djkaplan |
I fall into the 'like it' category! No one would ever mistake it for someone elses bike. |
