Guess no one knows the bike. Any opinions on the bike and/or the modifications, price, etc.?

Looks good! Doesn't say the mileage, but the updated heads/cylinders likely make that a moot point. Bet it rips.
Seems a reasonable price, and OBO means negotiable. What's the market like there?

Looks like a nice bike except for the paint job. If you really want an S2 that will gain in value over the years I would recommend the one Ratbuell is selling. Only a little bit more money for a much truer example.

Harley is probably the guy who painted it! And nice to know no kids drove it around.

But it looks nice! Paint it original and i think it's a stunner.

I knew I'd seen that bike before...Volume 2, Issue 3, 1998 Battle2Win magazine, page 12. A couple pictures, and the caption:

"Rick Rimel updated his '95 S2 with a S&S E carb, crane Ignition, Axtell Pistons, Vance & Hines exhaust, Lightning heads, and a eye-grabbing application of paint by Reed Robbins of American Classic."

That's all I know of it.

Looks like it needs the swingarm recall performed - which is good, you can get a new swingarm...

Jolly, did you buy the bodywork from Art Bartlett (Bartimus)? I think he told me of a custom blue set at one time.

Aside from the Harley logo I think the paint looks sweet.
