Any suggestions for a M2 fairing ? | ||

The S3 fairing will bolt straight with the S3 bracket, check out my profile | ||

I see several people with the S3 fairing on the M2, but it can be an expensive conversion and difficult to piece together (or just time consuming). After trying a few smaller windshields, Givi a210 and a755, I've decided that stock or go big, b/c everything in the middle creates buffeting which is more annoying than the air noise and chest blast. I love my bike the way it is, just want to get down the 65-75 mph stretches a little more relaxed. I think this is going to be my next windshield: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-af49-airfl ow-universal-windscreen Good review here: http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/showthread.php? 227031-magic-windscreen-!

Never seen that one before, has the same split-screen as the Ulysses, and some other touring/adventure bikes. | ||

I have a couple of stock flyscreens that I probably won't ever use. | ||

I have a Givi 750 on my M2 ( see profile pic ) It's not perfect but better than stock. PO painted it to match the bike. | ||

Mounting an XB Firebolt fairing to an M2 is not too difficult, see my profile. | ||

If I'd a seen these, I would have gotten one of this instead of the Laminar Lip (which I'm still tinkering with...): http://www.twistedthrottle.com/shop-by-product/erg onomics-rider-comfort/windshields/windshield-exten sions?product_type=Windshield+Extensions | ||

I haven't been on "Old School" & especially the "Cyclone" thread for quite a while since I got my 1125R but seeing this post I had to add a little incentive. Now I have always liked full fairings and built my '02 M2 like this (below), a while back, maybe 2005 or so. All mounting hardware except the Airtech fairing & seat had to be hand fabricated. In addition I add a head temp. guage and an 8" cooling fan behind the left side fairing, custom exhaust, race ECM and K&N air cleaner in a custom housing and chain drive conversion. It was a one of a kind and was one of the ten custom Buells featured in a Cycle World mag. edition at that time. Not for everyone since the big interest in naked street racers, but I enjoyed it.

AirTech ? http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/buell/M2199702 .htm | ||

J.V., yes that is the company. The fairing I used was not intended for a Buell; it was a replacement for a stock Suzuki RF900. As you can see it adapted fairly nice. I do not remember having to cut it at all but fabrication of the brackets was a fair amount of work. Bob | ||

If I was doing a full fairing on an M2 I think an early '90s Yoshimura fairing with the dual headlights and side louvers would look cool 8) | ||

 My M2 with the S3 fairing...REX | ||
| Rex |
I also have the S3 Manta Tank, and the S3 rear saddle bag brackets..... | ||
| Mhlunsford |
Nic Rex! Just curious if there were reasons why you choose to make the M2 more tour friendly over the s3 ? | ||
| Rex |
at the time, I liked the M2 better, and the price was more in line with what I could afford. then over the years, I started making the changes..... | ||
| Firstbuell |
^^^^^this^^^^^ IIRC, the'99 carbed M2 vs. FIed X1 price difference was about $1500 the S3 was mebbe another $1000, & I can't remember the bags' accessory price back then..... | ||

I have a m2 and just put in a new engine so will not let go - it is fun. But looking for something for long rides : s3 uly or just add fairing to M2. | ||
| Jayvee |
By far cheaper to add a fairing. But... http://merced.craigslist.org/mcy/4783678513.html | ||

I'm gonna try and convert a CR fairing to mount on my M2 some how... | ||

Hey Rex, really nice looking M2 with the "conversion" for touring! |
