Well, you are looking at 40 year old tank and tail that were basically 1 or 2 year low production items......... :wtf:


yeah but as usual when I wasn't looking for one I was tripping over them I think because of the rise in prices for the bigger ones the smaller triples are now being more sought after.

Different how?
If you use the tank, tail and side covers, they are a matched set right?
gas cap different? Thats no issue.
Length of tank or shape different?
Whats the big deal, or did you just want to use S2 because thats what was on it before?
Learn me up here Bud, do the S2 and S2A tanks and tails mount differently.

I am all ears Bubba.........

I think if you use the S2A tail, you then have to use the 73 seat for it to look right. But face it, the 72 set-up looks like a mini 72 H2/A, cool points in itself! :thumbup:

I'm not sure what the differences are in the tank but i was told by a reputable source they are (Mraxle) as for the tail piece it's not the 72 style doesn't look nearly as sharp, by the way have you ever considered selling cars :lol:

Well I think if you prefer the look of the H2 style tank, then that explains it Neil.
If I were a good salesman, I would get someone to give an offer on that nice little S2A Bud. ;)
