Butch,

I have an M2 tail and stock seat if you're interested...I think you'd have to cut the tail of the S3's frame down to fit though. I think I remember reading that somewhere on here.

You'd also need to get the thumbscrew for the seat though I'm sure you can get one from a hardware store, they are like $18.95 from the dealer for a bolt.

Let me know if you're interested. I actually have two tails, one new and one used. New is Black, in box from Buell, other is Yellow, with scuffs that can be polished out methinks. I don't believe there are any cracks either.

Edit:

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. You're starting with an s3 which already has inverted forks. I have nothing useful to add to this discussion : )

If i understand what your doing, to put theM2 tail on a S3 just cut the rear frame legs off right behind the last cross brace that the seat bolts to. i did mine a few years ago. Since changed back to a S3 tail but no big deal.

Well, I've been looking for an S3 fairing to fit on my M2 in case you decide to sell yours.

I also have a M2 seat in as new condition if Wilson's doesn't pan out.

The cycle of modification of our bikes continues!! : )

It makes no sense to butcher a nice S3T in order to turn it into a kinda-fake M2. Sell the S3T and buy an M2 for the same money. It's a win-win deal and the "real" M2 will actually keep its value while a severely customized bike is only worth a fraction of a stock one.

Butch - I like the wheels in that last pic you posted. Is that just a bare cast surface?

The S3 tailpiece is way too big, an M2 tail would be much better.
Also the front fender, and lose the fairing lowers, and the saddlebags, of course.
I guess might be easier to put a fairing on an M2?
Does anybody have a pic of one of an 'old school' cafe fairing, like a R90S style, on an M2?
That might work well too. The S3 fairing is similar, just bigger and wider, and angled to match the tank a bit.
