I know of the small S1 tank
The large M2 tank
But the S2 and S3 are they the same does one of them have a cell and a cover?

S3 is a fuel injected manta tank.

The S2's have a fuel tank and a cover, (like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buell-S2-S2T-Fuel-cell-cov er-gas-tank-fairing-Thunderbolt-1995-1996-bodywork -/200851739897?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=ai d%3D222001%26algo%3DSIC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D1 1%26meid%3D4234934277016905370%26pid%3D100011%26pr g%3D1005%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D200824211429%26)
and the S3 has a nylon tank with a coating that (usually)(frequently) bubbles.

The S2 works on other tubers...it's just not too pretty without the cover.

S3's are either carb'd or EFI...but yes, a Manta tank.

Peanut tanks were only on early M2, and S1.

98 S1W and S3 (carb) debuted the Manta.

99-up saw the Manta on everything but X1, which was a cell with a cosmetic cover.

All S2/S2T's are a cell with a cosmetic cover.

Thanks.

Footpeg hardware is old Buell race parts stuff and S2 lowering peg mounts turned upside-down. The shifter is my own creation made of Blast and X1 shifter parts screwed together. It allows for infinite adjustment.

It'll do 4 gals if I let it go empty.
