So what is the difference between the two? is the T purely an S2 with added luggage? and if so do the pannier racks fit straight on to a standard S2?
trying to avoid buying an absolutely gorgeous S2 to add to the X1 and 1125Cr but struggling lol

Luggage (that mounts on a rack), lower pegs, and higher bars.

And those three parts are getting very expensive!

And yes, they all mount up to a standard S2.

If you are searching you can still buy the conversion rack for an S2 to mount S3 bags. I just bought one a few weeks (maybe a month) ago. I have a write up here on the parts on where I bought them. the bags were sourced from someone on this forum, though there are a few currently available on ebay I think...now, If I could just find some lowers.....and some of the peg drop mounts that used to be available and the kick stand conversion side plates and.... : )

Well there is one of the finest examples of an S2 for sale here in the uk and I'm very very tempted to buy it even though the cash was supposed to be going on a BMW 1200 GS for long distance two up touring lol.

if you just have to have 2 up comfort on a Buell, contact Loren at Baldwin cycle saddles, he does outstanding custom bike seats one at a time, custom fit to the rider's needs. he rides an S2 that he built up a seat for it to be comfortable for a passenger. wont be as nice as the beemer for sure...but it is an option to help "sell" the idea.

here is the link to the S2 section of his web site:
