been trying to find out but so far can only see these differences.
Obviously the paint, steel swingarm, slightly different forks.
Anything else?

Not a great deal. Mechanically the same. A lot of S's were imports so check history on them. They wouldn't be on the "network" for recall checks for instance but in the 900's case these would've been few and far between.
As an aside, the SS's are pretty good money so if you can find one close on price, i's go for the SS as the spec' is obviously better.

I had an ss but have seen an s at a really good price
Can see the wheels are from the earlier ss as well

What year were the 900S models were they the same as the 900CR in the states which was a lesser spec'd bike than the 900SS we had in the UK

Got the sport on the system as a 2002 model year only bike.

non adjustable forks, 3 spoke wheels, senna grey colour only, steel swingarm.

not THAT much difference then really.
Maybe get a few stickers on it and change the wheel colour, maybe the swingarm, add a an open cluth cover etc, could lift it just enough
