This pic. is of a hurt Buell S2. The engine has just come out of the
frame. This is because the owner did a "big time wheely" and came
down hard!!!
No this is not the latest Buell shock recall! It is a good way to
get the frame ready to take off the lift and be able to wheel it
around the shop once the motor is out.
This is why the frame has nothing in it. When you come down to hard
after a wheely at least on this Buell this is the result. The big
hole in the case is the area where the rear shock mounting bracket
bolts to.
You wanna play you gotta pay!!!!!!! All the body work is fucken history!
It's a shame because the S2 Buell's are becoming a collectors item. In
my opinion the best of the Buell/Harley models introduced in 1995.
This guy is fortunate because he is a Buell mechanic at our shop and
can fix it himself. The parts for these bikes are very expensive to
say the least and getting to be pretty rare.
I did a frame change for a guy a few months ago. He wrecked his 95 S2,
blue like mine. It took forever it seemed to get a new frame frome Buell.
So one might want to think real hard about doing the crazy shit on their
Buell's. That is unless they real deep pockets full of CASH!!
