The bodwork is a bit different on Indian S2s. A new GP200 engine will fit straight in but you'll need a series 2 kickstart lever.

indian series 2,s have slightly squarer leg shields at the top, no panel levers, entirely different type of speedo & a less defined shaped front mudguard. sure there are other differences as well
