You can try a corbin, their better. But not great for that style. Everything for an M2 will fit....for a long ride you can,t beat the later M2 fender and seat. The seat is good, the select seat is better and a Corbin in that style is great. However the small tank is not a good match for that fender and seat(need large tank) I have tried all the combinations(I have two tanks,three fenders and seven seats) when I get tired of one set-up, I go with another. Right now I,m small tank,S1 solo fender and Force seat, love the look....but would shy away on taking any long rides.LOL |

Lakes, The select makes it easier to get your feet on the ground,still brings you forward. The Corbin sets you back more but the sides make it a little harder to extend your leg to the ground. On the long haul you can't beat the Corbin(IMO)But the select is a great seat and a lot better than stock(IMO) |

Baldwin seat can make you a great seat and he is Buell friendly. Check out their website. I have a Corbin but may try a Baldwin when funds allow. |
