Author Message   Jvv Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 03:31 pm:        There is an S-2 FRAME being sold on ebay that I am bidding on....Anyone know of the history of this frame? (court?) According to the seller it was donated at one time by erik buell for a museum of some sorts.? fyi...Just wondering...apparently it doesn't have an frame numbers, etc. and has never been used......rex   Mikej Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 03:49 pm:        Here's the link for Rex or Jack. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10064&item=243 5388136   Court Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 03:51 pm:        Rex: Ask: 1) Is the head section stamped? 2) If not, is it a REAL frame or a media buck of some type. 3) Question 2 only applies if you intend to do something other than hang it on the wall as art....which, by the way, makes great living room decoration with bodywork and operating directional signals. Either way it'd be fun to have. Court   Mikej Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 04:04 pm:        Geez, can you imagine if it is a display mockup and someone builds it into a functional bike? Ouch.   Court Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 06:20 pm:        It is, absent a VIN, at their own risk. Additionally, if you buy a frame without the motorbike it had attached to it when it left Buell any "reasonable and prudent" person is put on notice to ask more questions. Frankly, I can't imagine that if anyone needed a buck there would be a cheaper way to get one than just grab a production frame. I'd just ask a couple questions as opposed to sitting there later answering a more embarrasing question...."and what...you didn't even ask?" That's just me. . . Trust me JVV is no dummy....   Firemanjim Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 07:31 pm:        Well,I can tell you right now it is not an S-2 frame.There is no removeable section on the rear of my frames and there are a bunch of things I don't recognize about it,so beware.   1313 Posted on Friday, October 03, 2003 - 01:00 pm:        The frame is actually an RS/RSS frame. It can be identified by the bolt in rear subframes (RS had a rear subframe with mounts for pegs, while the RSS did not have mounts for pegs on its rear subframe), and the bolt in front V-bracket (down to tie bar that goes to crankcase). I can even see the chain rub block on the frame, which guarantees me that this is an RS/RSS frame. 1313   Josh_ Posted on Friday, October 03, 2003 - 01:49 pm:        What's the difference RR/RS frames? Hmm, I need to go check if I have extra chainrub blocks for upper and lower or just the lower.   Rex Posted on Friday, October 03, 2003 - 04:19 pm:        thanks for the update....rex
