Get the V&H pipe XL cams,race module and let the fun begin. H2 and Gamma fans should ride this bike. Huge torque that most inline four bikes just don't have until 5,000 rpm...... the S2 has 80 footpounds on tap at any rev....

I installed a Suppertrap with 18 discs and the power came on 700 rpm sooner. The bike is hand built and some bolt on parts just don't bolt ...

The S2 is one of the most fun bikes I have owned. The handling is spot on. The vibration rapidly goes away at around 2500 rpm. The first thing I changed was muffler. I installed a Suppertrap with 18 discs and the power came on 700 rpm sooner. The bike is hand built and some bolt on parts just don't bolt on. Expect easy jobs to not be too easy. The vibration isolation is good at speed but it shakes things loose. I would suggest getting a Loctite Manual and all the Loctite needed. I love this bike, it's got loads of personality. It's kinda like a girlfriend that you can't trust completely.
