Header off of a 2000 M2 will not work. It will have to come off of a 98 or older S3 or S1.

why wouldn't it work, except the muffler would have to be 2.5" inlet, and it not looking exactly the same? yes, it will route under the frame tube. even an XB header fits, you just have to get crafty with the muffler.

all that being said, it's my opinion the early headers are the best looking tho

Dude, under frame headers won't fit. You can make it fit by beating the shit out of it, but that's not exactly good for exhaust flow

I bought an integrated LED light off ebay from a seller who promotes himself as a Bueller. It came quickly and sat in the box for just over a month before I removed my rear flashers, modified my tail and installed the light. When I powered it up, one bank of lights for the left signal wouldn't work. Seller tried to say only a 7 day warranty but then agreed to replace if I sent it back which would have taken my bike off of the road for several weeks. I offered to send a video of the fault and return the light after he sent me a working one so that I could keep driving. No go, so I decided to keep the thing and ride and never deal with that seller again.

So the cheapo LED may work for you but is not very bright. Certainly don't get the tinted lens with it. I suggest saving and getting Al's first. Buy quality from a quality seller and you will be pleased. My short cut is costing me more in the long run.

The clean look of these lights really helps the M2 in my opinion and I'm saving up to order the part from American Sport Bike. You won't be disappointed.

I am tearing the whole bike apart this winter I will be putting an m2 swingarm on replacing all the wear parts repainting and powder coating I will fabricate a few small things but it will basicly be the same bike with a new back half and fresh paint I would love to find a six speed but that will be a bonus. I bought this bike for 2200 with the above intentions and have only put maybe 300 into it.
