Just bought a 97 S3 Top end redone and new Barnett Clutch. I have been riding since I was 5 and built several bikes. Just looking for Information on Interchangeable parts on The Tubers. Can I use the Fairing and Rear Section from the S1 or the M on the 97? Will Newer Showa forks work? Best exhaust??

Thank you
John

Forks will fit, not sure if you'd need new triples, though.

Tail from an M2 will fit as the frame is the same, an S1 will not without some modification to the frame. The fairings from either can go on provided you have all the hardware for the headlight and such.

You might want to consider finding an M2 owner that wants S3 bodywork and trade.

Welcome!

M2 and S3 tail sections are not a direct swap. I have both and the frame is not the same.. Not saying it can't be done but is not a bolt on.

Thanks for the Answers! here is a pic of the bike I bought. I am wanting to turn it into a Street Tracker for my son.. Actually he and I have built a few bikes together and this will be our Summer project.. I would actually like to go with the Dual headlight setup with a fly screen.
