Did all S2Ts come stock with the lower fairings? | ||
| Court |
Yes. Here's what some of the prototypes looked like.      | ||
| Johnod |
Thanks Court. Do they actually provide much protection? Any heat problems with them on? | ||

Worked fine in the 44 states I tried them in . . . :-) My legs, clad in my Aerostich, fit nicely inside of them. They seemed to keep the rain and some breeze off me. I never had any heat problems except the pipe bring the fairing (see above photo). Al my Aerostich's carry the "Mark of the Thunderbolt". And . . well . . gosh . . look how happy I looked. :-)  | ||
| Johnod |
You do look kinda happy don't you? | ||

I found and added lowers to my S2T since it didn't have them when I got it (used). They add decent protection, though not as much as I'd like. I kinda push the limits of rideable weather though. On days above 50-55 degrees they are great, but I ride in 30-40* weather in the mornings this time of year ao I still feel plenty of windchill on my legs. | ||
| Johnod |
Phelan, any additional brackets need to be found to mount them? | ||
| Phelan |
P clamps with nuts and bolts to hold them on, 3 for each lower. You can get them at Lowe's or Home Depot though, dirt cheap. 1 1/4" if I remember correctly. | ||
| Johnod |
Thanks, I had to look up P clamp, never heard them called that before. | ||
| Phelan |
Yeah my lowers came with the P clamps but I had to get some to hold the rear of the saddlebag bracket to the frame. They were like $1.50 or so for the pair. Always check Lowe's, Sutherlands, or Home Depot for hardware before ordering expensive stuff. Specialty grade 8 bolts are one thing, but P clamps, wellnuts and general bolts/screws are way cheaper at these department stores. I replaced all the wellnuts on my bike for under $15 from Sutherlands. | ||

I would add that the lowers fairing seem to aid with airflow to the rear cylinder. Actually, there are 4 clamps you will need. 1 #18 clamp and 3 # 17 clamps. The #18 requires the clip nut as it goes on the right side top rear and would not allow for screw/nut application with the frame configuration. You can still get the clamps. I ordered the #17 clamps from Hal's two weeks ago. Finally, in the looks category, the fairing lowers do set the bike apart. | ||

Whoops, TS is right. The top front of the lowers is held in by the tank cover screws, not a P clamp. I forgot about that. | ||
| Johnod |
Thanks for all the info, who is Hal's? | ||
| Two_seasons |
Hal's HD/EBR in New Berlin Wisconsin. Good Buell/EBR support. | ||
| Johnod |
2 seasons, do they actually have fairing lowers? | ||
| Two_seasons |
I'm not sure they have them on hand, but they may be able to order them for you. Mine came with them when I bought it 2 years ago. You may also want to post in the BadWeb Classifieds for WANTED parts. Here's the link... http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/ 1022.html?1414952278 | ||
| Johnod |
Yes I probably will do that. As I don't yet have the bike in my possession, I don't want to jinx anything by buying parts first. Logic!  | ||
| Johnod |
Phelan I sent you a PM. | ||
| Phelan |
Hi John, for whatever reason I haven't been receiving PMs. I think it has to do with hotmail filtering, which sucks. Please email me at phelan_z06@hotmail.com. Thanks! |
