death machine, indeed. a perfectly good buell was wasted to "build" it

Is this just because he was able to get his hands on an S2 (or S2 motor) for less money than a sportster? He could have rebuilt a sportster motor to equiv. specs.

But I guess these guys have more respect for sportsters than for Buells... rrr.

Could you possibly build a worse cornering machine than this thing?

Well it does say Death Machine right on it lol

The Detroit Bros choppers started using that 125 tank On some of there bikes it looks pretty cool, but as stated above this bike is pretty cobbled together



They have bikes with mid foot controles that look better...

A '95 S2 has a bone stock, 52RWHP sportster motor. What a waste of a classic bike.

I'm tempted to post that it's in no way a 103 horse motor. That type of ignorance probably cost more than a couple of S2s their lives...

look on the bright side...every S2 killed makes each one of ours go up in value (just a tad)

Still hate seeing it thought

He certainly got that bit right!

I probably got a little more colorful than I shouldve with him.

"Dear 59limey,

Just thought I'd let you know that the '95 Buell S2 (which is
what I ride, btw, #814/1399) had a bone stock Sportster
motor that runs about 55 RWHP. It wasn't until '98 that the
103HP Thunderstorm motor debuted, though at the wheel it
only made about 84HP.

- phelan_z06"

his response

"Dear phelan_z06,

just thought I'd let you know that this bike has thunderstorm heads in it and cams.thanks

- 59limey"

"Dear 59limey,

What about the pistons? Or the crank? Did you split the
cases to change the crank out too? The thunderstorm motor
had a different crank that was almost 2 lbs lighter, which is
another way it made that kind of power. And the Tstorm
heads (which none had polished fins, btw) wouldn't fit with the
stock flat top pistons because the heads have a custom
squish band. And even the factory 2-1 exhaust makes almost
10 HP more than, short, uneven drag pipes (torque cones or
none). Custom bike it is. 103 HP it is nowhere near. If the
bike sells and buyer notices this afterward, they have grounds
return the bike and demand a refund.

- phelan_z06"

his response

"Dear phelan_z06,

what are you a lawyer? or just someone who knows too much about other peoples stuff? obviously you are not going to buy it so quit bugging me.

- 59limey"
