Hi cool thank you very much
do you still use the original M2 speedo or did you switch to an S3 dashboard also?
I have an early M2 so perhaps somebody has done this conversion to an early M2 also?

To my knowledge yes, the previous owner had only changed the front fairing. I have more pics of how it is actually mounted that i can email. This is a 2000 m2 that i have with an s3 fairing.

They look great, as a "M3".
Would have been a great factory option or after sale factory accessory Kit.

Looking for a front fairing, came across
airtech-streamlining.com/buell/S21995-96.htm
but they only have the "S2" fairing.
Is the front fairing the same, between the S2 and the S3?

i think the M3 name is nice. I dont see much of a difference between the front fairing on s2 and s3t if anything very minimal, but that is only my observation

The M2-S3 combo works very well for me aesthetically speaking. I met a guy at our local gathering last year who had converted one as well. Said he loved it.



Can you tell which one it is? ; )

Darn KC, I thought you were going to say those are all yours! Thats a nice-looking group

I liked the swoop of the M2 tail better than the droop of the S3. Maybe easier to adapt the M2 tail to an S3 bike!

Rex! I love it! Lots of nice touches, perimeter brake on a marchesini wheel, the shiny helmholtz, black on black with black and black. Really nice!

Hi Rex
your bike was the one I had in mind when I asked about pictures. I see you`ve got brackets for fairing bags, are these from an S3 also ?
Beautiful seat, unfortunately my M2 came without any seat so maybe you have the standard 97/98 Seat for sale? Or anybody else? Thanks for help

If anyone has a fairing to sell keep me in mind. Dave Tooch has been super helpful with a few pics of his beauty. I'm either gonna add the S fairing or trim down my tail section, depends on what shows up

Rex, you operate the brake lever only with your pinky?

That's some stopping power.

Does that upper heat shield make any differance?
I always have the issue with my leg and headers, was looking for a shield like that.
But only if it would work, not just estatic wise.

Did ya'll notice the S3 fairing mount on ebay for $50 (buy it now.)

www.ebay.com/itm/Buell-S3-S3T-front-fairing-bracke t-mount-/321296932147?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accesso ries&hash=item4aceca1d33&vxp=mtr

Seems like a good deal, compared to the others on sale there.
