Good luck,keep your eye on eBay.Are you looking for collecting purposes or looking for something to tour with?If you intend to use em consider softbags.I have used RKA for years on my S-2 and love em.

i use the joe rocket soft bags and really like them. i bought the soft bags and tail for about 150.00 shipped to door. i got the older black sport bags. think they have a new one that has color inserts. i just didnt like the look of them. the bags have an expansion zipper that allows them to go from 6" to 12" wide. with the tail bag included can easily carry 3 full face helmets with room to spare. why three helmets.. why not?

I would say no. Neither American Sport Bike or the Ventura web site list the S2.

Talked to the Ventura guy several years ago.As he was in Australia and there was exactly one S-2 registered in the country at the time he had not been able to get a bike to use to make a mounting system.

Tony,
not available, sorry. Too bad, because Ventura racks are very cool.

I'll buy one.

Well, I do have an S2 that I could use for fitment. I'll crawl up under it on Monday and take a peek. Only the L brackets would need to be fabricated, the rest would be standard Ventura stuff. Heck, if I did the design, I'd bet they'd fabricate them.

Stay tuned. I need to see what's under there. I'm not one with an S2, the red one just sits in the shop looking pretty while my S3 is my flog mule.
