Hey guys, does anybody have an S2 without that big light and fairing on the front, I really like the naked look, but I dont wanna buy one without knowing how easy it would be to take that off and if it would look ok, any help would be appreciated!

It can be done (and has been before), but you have to figure a way to mount the gauges and headlight. The ones I've seen switched to an S1 topclamp, dash panel, and headlight. If you don't like the tall clipons without the fairing, LMK, cuz I have a set of one-off dragbar clipons from another project that will fit the 1" bars to the 54 mm forks.

Mattbp23, I would suggest a M2 vice a S2 since the M2 is probably the look your looking for. Before you hack up a S2 do a little reading about them in the book "First 25 Years of Buell" or in this section of the BadWeb.

While I really like the S2s I think the M2 is the most capable bike Buell ever made. It can do everything.
