Would a 1995-96 S2/S2T old school seperate forum be a Possibility? I like to read the tips, tech help, Bull shit etc Just on them and find it takes one heck of all of time sorting thru the other models...Just an idear! Anyone else agree? Im a newby here to,But Not to T-bolts, so What else can I say...Thx..hankb | ||
| Bluesboy |
I agree hank, the only buell stuff of any importance to me is S2.Im all for it.Now if i can just figure out how to upload pics... | ||
| Onahog |
Hey Thx for the support.. Any other S2ers out there agree? As far as the uploadin goes... I figured it out... Reduce your photo size to 50 or so... I will do one of my bike and show ya... Hankb. | ||

Heres my 96 S2t...Vin # 000003  | ||

"Old School" is for tubers.We don't need to further separate by models.Just think of ALL the other models out there.Pretty soon we'd have better than 30 forums and would be more difficult to disseminate ideas.Hey,i don't need a separate X1 or XB12r forums.They're in either 'Old School" or XB forums.Easy as that. | ||
| Onahog |
Every one is entitled to their own opinion Bro..Easy as that! | ||

Can I get my own forum? It would be the "RS1200 converted to S2T Old School Forum" I could spend all my time writing to myself about it (instead of talking to myself, which I already do) cause I'm pretty sure I got the only bike like that. AL | ||
| Bluesboy |
OK!OK!I get the point,it`s just,you know,I`m an S2 NUT!Your assumption that i can make my pics smaller,Hank, need fearther discussion. | ||
| Onahog |
Bluesboy... Ya need to download a Resize program... Then ya can do whatever size ya like. SORRY, Guess I should not have asked for an S2 only section...Pardon Me all to hell! Hb  | ||

I can see both sides of this one. My S2 is an oddball in the Buell world in that it has self-cancelling HD turn signals, 1" bars (soon to get the spare heated grip set I have laying around), and initially a REALLY •••••• sidestand design (remedied with Al/American Sport Bike's replacement sideplate kit). I think being the first of the "production" bikes, they and their quirks could easily merit their own forum. However, they do share a lot of componentry and technology with the later tubers...and when you think about it there are a LOT of tubers - S1 early, S1W (late), S2, S2T, S3 carb, S3 EFI, S3T, S3T EFI, X1, M2 early, M2 late, M2 low....it could get daunting and cornfusing. To alleviate: there is another forum. Granted it is older and less used these days, but it does have model specific forums. www.sporttwin.com/forums.html. Even though it's older info in most cases, it is good info nonetheless. | ||

Don't apologize, Hank - WE all know that the S2's are the best looking Buells BY FAR, but it's just that there's not enough of them to warrant their own forum. Or is there? | ||

It might be a good place to cross- post "parts wanted" queries that get drowned out in the "classified" where I know they belong. Such as: Does anyone have a stock muffler available for an almost give-away price? | ||

Rex its STILL under construction.My #28 1996 S2 Still is not in your owners regestry.I love the idea of S2 only site. | ||

"Old School" is for tubers." I sometimes don't bother to look at other forums on the board because I'm not relavent there, like in the Uly section. I'd hate to see the tuber section like that. At least there will always be a set limit on the number of tuber models, so the Old School forum can't get any more disparate. Just my opinion, of course. | ||

Don't Get me wrong Ya'all..... I love all Buells.. Id love to have an Rs or RR or S1W too, but to me the S2s are significant...If it wasnt for them, Buell/Hd. Combo, there probably wouldnt have bin ANY more Buells. HDs $$$ helped Erik to get Buell were it is today...Thus, The S2 is the Buell of all.. My S2T is Like Viagra on Wheels to me. You young studs might not understand that one! And now for seperatist issues: When I go on ebay looking for Buell parts... if I have lotsa time, I punch in Buell... 95% of the time I just punch Buell S2... Does this mean Im bias to all Buells? Notta.....Just going to see what I wanna see....S2 Parts...Not all Buell parts Sorry for ramblin on , But I guess my TPS is on the end of my right Arm....OLD SchOOL!!!!! Over to Who? Hankb......  | ||
| Ducxl |
It's OK Hank.You'd never know unless you post your idea.Can't say you didn't try to get a feel for your idea.  | ||
| Onahog |
Thx Ducxl Guess Im just partial too S2s.. In 1991 I contacted E.B. about importing bikes to Canada...I had the paper work ta prove this, which I sold here on BWB so it would be appreciated..Anyhow, the bikes were in-admissable due to no DOT approval on the PM wheels and braided brake lines...Plus, EB hadnt applied to Trans Canada for the proper DMV paperwork. I worked with the Harley dealer to try to import...Then along came the S2s... HD now involved, looking for dealers... My dealer managed to bring in 5 1995 S2s. I bought one and Sold 3 others for them... In 1996 they brought in a S2T and an S1.. I now own the S2T... My involvement with Buell and HD is fairly extensive.. Ive bin to Road America twice on a Buell s2, Met Erik and Court. Was one of the first to tour the HD factory in 1980, before tours were possible, I Stayed at Carrol Reswebers house....Hd racing champ from the early 60s and this will be my 25th yr at Sturgis...Twice on a Buell s2. So I guess you could say, Im an S2 Veteran... And ur prob all thinkin Full Of Shit... LOl.... Sex on Wheels..Ride a Buell! Enough siad....Hankb....  | ||

| Onahog |

I then explained all the different color yellows on the bike, and ya got right on it for me Bro...Erik looked at it and for the 3rd time the body got replaced, this time in White... All i could say was, This Guy is the MAN, Ehhhhhh! I rode home to get my New white body 6 months later...LOl..... Ya came thru Bro, so Ya, I'll admit I met ya anytime, anywhere, or is there someplaces i should'nt....LOL>>>...Hb.......  | ||

| Onahog |
Ducxl.... Heres a bed time story for ya... Nothing ta do with Buells.. Sturgis 1984... I am at this rest stop and In pulls Willy G. He spots my bike... A cross between a 1955 Panhead & a 1977 FlH. I did the tin style pan covers on the forks etc... I called it a Heritage and put the 1980 FLH heritage stickers on the front fender and some of the other panhead stuff on the bike to give it that vintage look.. 2 tone paint job... Willy says he loves it...Low and behold... 2 yrs later we Have a Heritage softail... Go figure..! Anyhow, before he leaves me, he says...Do you still have vin # 97 of the 1977 XLCRs. ..I didnt get a chance to answer him or how he found out I had it, cuase the South Dakota skies opened up and he ran for his truck, while i procceded to get soaked  ... Ok...I will •••• off now and leave you guys alone...LOL...Hankb... | ||
