The S2 uses 1" handlebars and stock pre-'96 Harley controls (I believe the '96 S2 still uses the -'95 HD controls). To fit these on other tubers, you have to convert to 1" bars (or shim 7/8" bars up to 1" where the controls attach, which is a bit more involved), and rewire your controls to fit the HD layout (I.E. left/right turn signals on each side, etc.).

You may want to just research wider levers. I know some Kawi levers fit the stock brake on the x1. I'm not sure one these exact ones but it's worth checking out. It would be easier and cheaper than changing all the controls.

If these work you just need to source a clutch lever.

Good luck and send us pics once you get it figured out.

Try American Sport Bike AL has a good set of faux carbon fiber "wide levers" http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-prodshow/5683.html I have both the brake and the clutch lever. they are wide and very comfortable. the brake is adjustable which is nice.

They are simulated CF its just a dip type paint process it could easily be buffed off!
