Another "Re-Post", this one has been together since May '10.
But since then it's has got Aylor Reeds & Heads, a Dyntek (FastbyGast) H2 Ignition,
S3 Clutch with Barnett plates, progressive Fork and Shock springs (tried 3 different fork, 6 different shock springs before it was good), and about 400 hours riding. :D

This S2 is going to get another big mod real soon, the engine is going to this Champion Street Tracker 8-)

The engine will replaced by an F model H1, got a set of Walms pipes standing by...

:shock: 2nd biggest fire in state history, tring hard to be #1! I'm just west of it, back when it first started we had a red glow on the east horizon for a week.
It's only 5% contained tonight, but the crews are doing a good job of structure protection
within the fire, and no serious injuries yet.
Can't ride hwy 191 (the really good one), 73, or the east end of 260 :(

That's a beautiful S2, yet another impeccable custom. Some guys really know how to do a custom right, and you're one of them. :D I really like that seat too, IMO it's better than the usual "gunfighter" solo seat. The whole bike is tied together very nicely, congrats. What's up with the Bultaco tank though?? :?:

Thanks, that's a stock seat cut in half and shortened about 5-1/2". Still uses the stock hinges and latch.
The Bultaco tank fits the 250 Champion frame like it was made for it, and for me it has the look of a flattracker. (OK, I found the Bultaco tank for $35, Champion tanks go for $250-$500)
