Almost finished with the rebuild on S2 parts. still getting titled, etc.

Next idea? I have an s2 frame with title, forks, swingarm, wheels, tank, bodywork, wiring harness, etc.

-Think I will powder coat the frame black.
-Think I will go with a RED Orange Wheel color
-No fairing on the front. A big Round Headlight, like on the M2.
-Bodywork? Original bodywork in gloss black, or go with a cafe racer type tank and seat combo.
thinking.....of more of a casual cafe racer looking bike. I like the big round headlight look, with no fairing. we will see.

I tried the big round headlight on my S2 once. I like the headlight, but it doesn't go great with the stock bodywork. The bodywrok is too wide IMHO. Maybe with an S1 tank and cafe tail.

Yes, was even thinking of a different tank and seat. more old school cafe racer tank and seat pan. put like the m2 speedo bracket on the forks with m2 bars....
