Author Message   Morvant1200 Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 12:11 pm:        Hey guys - It would be an honor to be welcomed as the latest S2 enthusiast on this great board. I have owned several other model Buells in the past and have enjoyed each for it's own unique qualities. My other ride is a 2002 M2 - which has been a load of fun and I believe will be for years to come. I picked up the pictured 95 S2 at the beginning of this year and intended to use it as a ......brace yourself !!!!DONOR!!!! for a pro-street sportster project. Well, since then I have reconsidered and have now decided to restore the bike to a street driver (and maybe occasional 1/4 miler). I enjoy reading the posts on BadWeb and do believe that the S2 is a classic motorcycle that needs to remain in existence so lucky folks out there can continue to see these fine handcrafted American motorcycles on the road - and even luckier folks (like us) can enjoy riding them! Thanks for everything BadWebbers.   Denfromphilly Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 01:31 pm:        Wow, Nice Bike, love the paint. But the rear tire and bodywork don't line up! Can I ask what you paid for it? I want to pick up an older S2 next to keep my X1 company. Maybe a stripped one on ebay and put an 88" motor on it from Penny or Firemanjim. Den   Morvant1200 Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 01:42 pm:        Thanks Denfromphilly. The swingarm is extended 10" - that's why the fender does not line up. I am going to shorten it to probably somewhere in the 6 to 8 inch range to keep the drag race look but it's still gonna be out there a bit (compared to stock). 88" - I hear ya. That's what this one has in it. Fun!   Henrik Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 02:06 pm:        Very nice bike there Blake. Certainly looks the business. Welcome, and thanks for keeping your S2 intact Henrik   Jersey_thunder Posted on Friday, August 19, 2005 - 09:57 pm:        that the S2 is a classic motorcycle that needs to remain in existence so lucky folks out there can continue to see these fine handcrafted American motorcycles on the road - and even luckier folks (like us) can enjoy riding them!

There really is an S2 frame under that RR bodywork (along with some other choice peices). And yeah, it ROCKS!!!   Jersey_thunder Posted on Monday, September 05, 2005 - 11:53 am:        WHO CUT THAT BODY WORK IF HALF!!!   Firemanjim Posted on Monday, September 05, 2005 - 01:15 pm:        My question exactly--sick sucker!! Extenuating circumstances if the other side was busted in a wreck.If not,hangin's too good fer him.   1313 Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 08:36 pm:        JT & FMJ, If it makes you guys feel any better if I didn't cut it in half (nearly 10 years ago) it would have had to have been thrown away. I think FMJ will be able to figure out the rest of the story...
