I have the smaller tank and I was foolish and sold my old thin M2 tail section and seat in the winter. What older Buell tail sections will fit on the Cyclone? I would even take an S1 or s3 tail section just as long as it would work. As I said I want to go with the older thinner style. Has anybody had success installing a Firebolt tail on a Cyclone? I think that would look pretty cool as well. Thanks Mike | ||

Only M2 tails will fit M2's You can put a S3 tail on there but I am not sure it will mount up corectly on the M2 tail and it for sure will not line up well with a thin tank. The only way you can mount a S1 tail on there will be major cutting and welding.  | ||

We're looking at the same problem for one of our BRAG race team. Can't do an XB tail without much surgery. The subframe geometry seems to be peculiar to the M2. We're looking at modifying the existing M2 seat to make it more of a GP-style but that's gonna be some work still. The S3 seat is WIIIDE - and it won'tmount up without loads of work. (the S3 is my streetbike and it feels like I'm riding a pony-it's so wide. | ||

Thank you very much guys. I am really kicking myself for selling that nice old M2 tail section I had late last year. That thing was in great shape and was the right color. Hopefully another will come along. Mike | ||

I have a '97 tail section on my 2000 M2, with the larger 2000 fuel tank. | ||

Hey Fred, How well is the fit of the older seat to the bigger tank? I tried this as well and it looked like there was a one inch gap under the seat from the frame on the front of the seat . You have a pic handy? Mike | ||

I have a custom seat on the '97 tail section and there's no gap...I haven't put the stock seat on though. Sorry, that probably doesn't help you much. | ||

This is not my bike, but a M2 model 2000 i helped customizing, itīs not what you asked, but something different:   | ||

Marchell -- izzat a monster tail section ya got on that gorgeous scoot? | ||
| Road_thing |
Good eye, Bomber-dude, that's what it looks like to me, too. Wonder if that would work on an S1... rt | ||

Yep, it is. We took the parts of a wrecked Duc (what else would you do too a Duc), and made them fit the M2. We lowered the seat to the frame, so it would't gap and customized the front of the seat. The tail light was a bigger problem, the (female) owner insisted on turn signals and the original light. | ||

Marchel - Can you expound a little on the fitting of the Duc seat? What did you have to do, how did you "customize" the front, etc?. It looks SWEET and I really want to rip off the idea! | ||

Bump. How does that seat attach? what type of fairing is under that Ducati seat? Is it a cut down cyclone fairing or something else? |
