You can try a corbin, their better. But not great for that style.
Everything for an M2 will fit....for a long ride you can,t beat the later M2 fender and seat. The seat is good, the select seat is better and a Corbin in that style is great. However the small tank is not a good match for that fender and seat(need large tank)
I have tried all the combinations(I have two tanks,three fenders and seven seats) when I get tired of one set-up, I go with another. Right now I,m small tank,S1 solo fender and Force seat, love the look....but would shy away on taking any long rides.LOL

Lakes,
The select makes it easier to get your feet on the ground,still brings you forward. The Corbin sets you back more but the sides make it a little harder to extend your leg to the ground. On the long haul you can't beat the Corbin(IMO)But the select is a great seat and a lot better than stock(IMO)

Baldwin seat can make you a great seat and he is Buell friendly. Check out their website. I have a Corbin but may try a Baldwin when funds allow.
