Author Message   Powdercoater61 Posted on Sunday, January 02, 2011 - 07:34 pm:        i need to replace my gas tank. what years fit my bike? any tuber tanks?   Dinuns1 Posted on Sunday, January 02, 2011 - 07:35 pm:        all tubers except s2 and x1 and fuel injected s3 tanks will fit   Littlebuggles Posted on Monday, January 03, 2011 - 01:05 am:        M2's (all years, pre 99 have the smaller tank 99+ have the larger Manta tank also found on the S1W and the S3), S3's (98 only) and S1's (96-98). Dinuns response is correct, this is just a little extra data for clarity.   Blake Posted on Monday, January 03, 2011 - 01:27 pm:        >>> What years fit my bike (1997 M2)?" Let's start with what models/years will match your 1997 Cyclone's four gallon fuel tank. That would be the following: 1996 - 1998 S1 tanks 1997 & 1998 M2 tanks The five gallon tanks used on carbureted tuber models will fit, but they are significantly larger and massively alter the look and feel of the bike. Those models include the following: 1998 S1W White Lightnings 1997 & 1998 S3/S3T Thunderbolts 1999-2001 M2 Cyclones I personally prefer the smaller tank. I never did get used the the larger front-heavy look and feel of the bigger tank when I was riding a 2000 model Cyclone.   No_rice Posted on Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - 01:58 pm:        i prefer the small tanks on the s1's also, but i do think the manta tanks look neat in their own right. if i come across one for a deal, that still has decent paint i'll eventually hang one on the wall just to admire lol. ive come across some at good prices, but just dont want to have to put new paint on a wall hanging!   Littlebuggles Posted on Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - 01:50 am:        Oops, thanks for the correction Blake, I had not realized the '97 S3 Manta tank was also out there. (Okay, so really I thought the S3 wasn't around until 98). Tim, I feel the same about that tank, and many other bike bits produced by Buell over the years. Garage art for sure.   Rick_a Posted on Thursday, January 06, 2011 - 01:35 am:        The S2 fuel cell fits, though it forces the front of the seat up a little.   Kiwicris Posted on Thursday, January 06, 2011 - 03:06 am:        Ohhh I'm gunna love it here on this site with all the accumulated knowledge!!! This sorta stuff is just what I wanta know and why I joined up. Being outside the States makes parts etc hard/expensive to source, expert info is thin on the ground so getting it right first time round and not having to deal with "no it alls" is going to make life a lot easier in the future.   Rex Posted on Thursday, January 06, 2011 - 04:00 am:        Here is my 97 M2 with the S3 tank installed. Also the S3 fairing. rex   Rex Posted on Thursday, January 06, 2011 - 04:02 am:
