Aaron aka Klinger. Thank goodness we have Court around who can (without a doubt) type. :-) Just to echo his most excellent guidance...Buell took care of mine with my bike out of warranty. They covered the parts. DAve | ||
| Kinger |
Thanks for the info Court! I will get my ducks in a row and start making some phone calls. I will get some pictures taken of the bags and post or send them to you as well. Thanks again! | ||

XB9 - Mirror hole plugs... Other uses... Plug those passenger peg mount thing-ies... The first mod any XB9S owner should make  Heard about this little tid-bit from the parts guys at my local dealer.. Fot those of us who have to put up with the burden of were to put those annoying DOD Base Decals and city TAX stickers... I whipped up a display plackard....   It's made of a $1.79 sheet of GE Lexan and re-uses the two "short" bolts for mounting the passenger peg mount thing-ies... kk//kef | ||

Cool DoD decal mounts Kevin. I kept getting harassed post 9-11 because my plate was not made of metal. After about the 4th interrogation I got a new decal and it's on the fork. Good luck  DAve | ||

I was cruising through e-bay today and saw an upgrade for S3T hardbags. I've had to replace one handle because the little lever to operate the latch mechanism broke. Was there a problem and are these upgrade kits still available? | ||

Kinger, let me know if you had any luck with BCS regarding you saddle bags. My right INNER bag cracked and was NOT covered by the extended warranty. Repeated calls (I was polite) to BCS resulted in them politely declining to replace the part as "goodwill", however, they did locate the LAST REMAINING pre-`99 R.S. inner (OLD part # inner ~$100 - NEW part # inner ~$350). I think the new part contains 3% pure Harley-Dust. Good luck to `ya !  Oz | ||

There's a kit for the S2s that use S3 bags. Used to run around $1100 or more. Buell soft bags may be a cost effective option. DAve | ||

Yeah I found the kit to put the S3 bags on it. I think that's the way he'll go. Thanks! Ride to the edge! Dave HD/Buell Cycle Center 4022 Sergeant Rd Waterloo Ia 50701 1-800-342-7539 ext 14 | ||

Sorry I'm so late on the S3-bags-on-S2 issue; but here's my .02: The kit is not very well designed/layed out. I realize that there were a lot of constraints to how the bracket needed to be designed and where the rear turn signals needed to go - but still. If you go with the kit, save your customer $75 and buy the kit in individual pieces. Leave out the $14 SS clamps (get them cheaper from a hardware store) and the (gasp) $14 a piece 6" pieces of wire. A box of bullet connectors is a buck or two at Radioshack, and you can make a cleaner installation. Also be prepared to beef up the area of the tail section that the turn signal bracket bolts to. One of my turn signals stripped out in less than 100 miles after the install - tore the fiberglass clean out. Now I've reinforced the area with two pieces of thin SS plate cut to fit inside the fender/splash guard. They're drilled to accommodate the turn signal bracket bolt, "gooped" in place and painted black. It's held up so far. Finally, if you do the install in the shop, be prepared for the customer to point out, that the whole thing looks cludgy, and not at all worth the $1400 that the kit cost last I checked. I guess I'd suggest a set of Chase Harper or http://www.rka-luggage.com soft bags - you can pack more in them anyway... Henrik (yes, I documented/photographed all this and sent it to the factory - no reply - and yes, I realize it's not even a blip on the priority radar ) | ||
| Road_Thing |
$1400??!! Add in a few hours of labor at the shop rate and you could almost buy a used S2T!! r-t (ps--Henrik, I enjoyed meeting you the other night!) | ||

Hi from New Zealand I have been reading the post to try and find out more on the 2002 M2 I have a 1999 M2 done 22,000km and are thinking of trading it in on the last 2002 m2 around, its $7,000 the difference alot of loot to get the same bike. My question is I belive there were over 40 engine changes on the 2000 plus models and I keep reading about (yes they fixed most of the problems in the 2002 models). Can anyone tell me what the main engine changes are and do they think a 2002 Model is worth the extra money or should I just keep upgrading the parts that wear out eg front brake rotor/ rear shock already need replacing. Many thanks Steve W | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Steve, You may get a better response putting this question on the General Discussion Forum instead of the Accessories forum. There were lots of minor tweaks, I don't know most of them. If memory serves, tappets, oil pump, crank, rocker gaskets, shifter detent?, cam gears and bearings, stainless steel vs steel header, throttle cable retainers, beefier primary adjuster. There's more I'm sure. Others will chime in! I'll defer to those more in the know. Brad | ||
| Aaron |
Good list Brad ... 2nd gear ratio and tappet anti-rotation pins are the only other things that come to mind right off the top of my head. Steve, these are nice updates but IMO it ain't that big of a deal. There's nothing that's such a huge improvement that I feel like it's a must have, except maybe the primary tensioner & steel rocker gaskets, both of which are easy to add to your bike. The '99 and earlier models are fine bikes. You could go through your motor, convert it to an 88 incher and update to everything on that list except the tappets (which the '99s were fine anyway), port the heads, slap in some bigger cams, and in the end have a much better motor than the '02 and spend a fraction of the money. | ||
| Macwatson |
To Brad & Aaron Thanks for the advise Steve W | ||

Has anyone installed a Givi A755 or A760 bikini fairing on a Buell? How does it look? I was considering a A760 for my early M2 for a little more weather protection (getting old), and was wondering if this is a bolt on install or do I have to modify and make brackets for it. | ||

dudue i have the givi screen a755 on mine and it works great... took about 10 minutes to put on. the best mod i made on my m2. looks like it was made for the bike. you will love it!!! | ||

S3T lid question.... Is there any difference in the lid hinges or other hardware from 1997 to 2001? Thanks Dennis | ||

>>Is there any difference in the lid hinges or other hardware from 1997 to 2001? Yes, a host of differences. Primary among them are the cams that were updated in 1998. Court | ||

| Reepicheep |
Moved from the quick board to knowledge vault as per request from DaveG... The key problem is that any device with a nice enough user interface to comfortably examine maps and plot trips (1024x768 display MINIMUM)... is way too big for mounting on a bike, or even for unobtrusive use in a car. Any device that is small and compact enough for bike / unobtrusive car use is LOUSY for trying to look at a map. This is not a new problem... and Palm Computing figured this out a long time ago. The PDA should be an extension of a desktop/laptop, not a replacement for it. Microsoft is just now figuring this out... they keep trying to make really little laptops, which makes them lousy laptops and lousy pda's. The PDA / GPS solution uses this same proven philosophy. Do the heavy lifting on a desktop, or even a laptop (easy to get one that will only occupy about the bottom inch in your tail bag for $400 or less... look for a thinkpad 570 PII-333 or PII366 on eBay). If you need to replot, find a nice place to sit down / have coffee / stretch out, whip out the laptop, plot a new route, download it to the PDA, and go back on your way. On the motorcycle, I run it with my HandEra 330 or my TRG Pro (both palm platforms) sitting atop the tank, and generally plot everything ahead of time so I don't need the laptop. For quick trips in the car, I also use the PDA. For serious road trips in the car, I use the laptop directly, as I am probably listening to mp3 books on tape anyway, and I like the voice prompts for upcoming turns and the detailed, updated in real time, list of directions (miles and time to each turn, updated every few seconds). The high resolution color animated map as I drive is fun as well. Its more for fun though, the PDA solution is plenty useful, as it shows your next turn and a decent (though smaller) animated map. First the software: Here is the XMap software. This package allows you to plot routes, find locations (basically I think can find anything in any phone book, you can even search by topic, i.e. find everything that mentions Harley Davidson within a 100 mile radius of map center). It has a Windows program to do the searching and plot the routes, and a PDA component that runs on the PDA. You do all the heavy lifting on the desktop/laptop, and just download the important parts to the PDA. http://www.delorme.com/xmaphandheld/default.asp XMap just allows you to plot routes to be downloaded to the PDA. If you want to be able to navigate in real time from the laptop (connect the laptop to the GPS and not use the PDA), you will need another package, which is also pretty nice: http://www.delorme.com/streetatlas2003/default.asp Again, both have their warts, and diverge from the normal windows user interface, but they don't take long to adapt to and are useful in their own way. That covers the software. Now you need hardware. XMap claims to work with newer Pocket PC devices, and some older wince devices. It also works with a lot of Palm devices, especially ones that sync through a serial port. I use mine with a TRG Pro and a HandEra 330. HandEra looks to be getting out of the PDA business, and is closing out some very nice units for $150. Note you have to cover one of the pins on the cable to get the old serial Delorme Earthmate to work with the HE330, email me and I will give you the details. It should also work with the new color high resolution sony devices as well, so long as you can get them to talk to your GPS. I don't have any firsthand experience, but I bet you could get them to work with the right cable. The XMap software claims to work with most GPS receivers. I use it with the old serial Delorme earthmate, as it is compatible with everything I own and dirt cheap. Note that it does NOT have a built in display, so if that matters to you get some other device. http://www.delorme.com/bargains/earthmate/moreinfo.asp Delorme is about to come out with another earthmate (niow USB) that sounds very nice, but I don't know how long it will take before it works well with PDA's and XMap. Probably not long, and the new earthmate has a lot of nice features. As it is USB, it is more likely to work with the Sony Palm based PDA's, and the USB Pocket PC's. It also claims to have bluetooth support, but between waiting for them to get it right, microsoft to get it right, and the Pocket PC hardware makers to get it right.. I would not hold my breath. http://www.delorme.com/earthmate/ Its a nice flexible little package, though it has a lot of complexity and cables can be annoying, and you have some packaging issues to work out (mounting the laptop or PDA in your car or the PDA on your bike). You also have some power management issues. Unless you have a $25 inverter feeding the AC on your laptop, it generally won't last long on a trip. The PDA's take a hard hit doing all that serial communication as well, my Palm will toast a pair of AAA NiMh batteries in three to five hours. The actual GPS receivers vary, my earthmate runs on 4 AAA NiMh batteries for about 7 hours. The earthmate can be easily wired to run off external power (5 volts on pin 9 of the cable), the PDA's can as well (but with a little more work). My HandEra 330 (takes 4 AAA's instead of 2) does much better then my TRG-Pro (like a palm IIIx but with a compact flash slot). Weatherproofing would be an issue with packaging as well, but you can buy things like the otter box that will address that. You could probably just get away with a few ziplock bags and putting it under the map cover on your tank bag. The whole system (PDA and GPS) could be completely contained in a single ziplock freezer bag with room to spare. The PDA memory is limited, so while the route is shown in good detail, complete with turns, the rest of the map is not shown. If you get off route, you just get an arrow pointing you back on track. You can download detailed maps, but they start taking up space fast. Devices like the Sony, the TRG Pro, and the HandEra 330 allow you to store data on external memory (memory stick or compact flash), so you could store maps there, but memory would be expensive. I put the extended area of Cincinati on mine, and I think it ended up about 8 megabytes. In theory you can route on the device (door to door directions), but the Palm CPU's are so slow they would take way to long to calculate it (like half an hour for even a simple route). The Pocket PC devices would probably be better, but a cheap and portable laptop is even better then that (and probably cheaper). The elaborate integrated units that have the GPS antennae, the maps, and the routing software all built in are nice, much more integrated, much easier to mount, but are a lot less flexible. I want my GPS reciever way out on the front or back dash for the best signal, but I want my display closer to my eyes on near a vent on the dash. An integrated unit would require an external antenna for this, which then negates the advantage it has of not stringing cables around. Also, the laptop and PDA are useful for many other things, and you may already have or want them anyway. Finally, the integrated units were (last time I checked) $1000, and I can put together a system like that for myself from scratch for half that. Also, with Delorme, you can get updates yearly for some flat price ($39 or something) that give you the latest greatest map data, and install is a breeze. Don't know how much of a hassle it is to update the embedded integrated devices, or if it can be done at all. So that's it in a nutshell. With decent 1024x768 laptops coming down in the $350 range, good palm based PDA's coming down to the $200 range, and good GPS units hitting the $150 range, a lot of stuff that used to be just wild dreaming is looking pretty cost effective, even if you get it for just dedicated GPS use. It's definately a project though, and not for people that don't enjoy diddling around with computers and electronics. It is FAR from being an appliance. The integrated units are closer, but I still doubt the average non technical consumer would be able to operate them very effectively. The Delorme products are not without fault, and I am not advocating them over any other products... they were just the only ones I could find that were even near my price range when I was looking during late 2001 / early 2002. There is a good chance better solutions are here or on the way. I just found a path of low resistance and took it. Bill | ||

Here are some shots of the setup I described above. I am still working out the mount, but this is what I have so far. It went together in about 15 minutes, and has worked better then expected. It is what I used at Deals Gap. The GPS receiver goes in the top of a tail bag on the back of the seat, and I sit on the wire between them.  On the shots of the Palm below (actually a Handera 330, which has higher resolution then the Palm devices, but lower resolution then the Sony Palm units), the screen looks really bad. This is simply because I had to fuss with the contrast to get shots of the LCD, and there are artifacts that show up from the camera / lcd / flash interaction. There are also a lot of artifacts from the high JPEG compression I had to use to get them here. In real life it looks great, and has a nice backlight. Here is a max zoom shot of the map.  Here is the map when zoomed out (hit the up and down buttons on the bottom of the PDA to zoom in and out). It will zoom farther out then this if you want, and this shot shows my route highlighted.  Hitting the "phone" button on the PDA will toggle between the following three status screens    The whole package as I use it on the bike is below, this shows sizes and how I mount it. Simple for now, but nowhere near waterproof. The Palms seem to survive the Buell "shake table test" pretty well. The stuff on the bottom of the wood is simply squirts of black RTV, between half an inch and an inch long. This holds it still, and lowers vibrations. The middle long squirt sits in the tank release hole.   I can post Delorme screenshots from the laptop if you want as well. There are also several screens on the above device I did not show that manage data (choose from saved maps, choose from saved routes, manage logging and saved waypoints). Also, when it is navigating, it shows the "next turn name" along the bottom of the screen (where it currently is showing the battery voltage). Bill | ||

I've got some soft luggage questions. I'm shopping for the X1. I'm looking at max capacity for trips up to 2 weeks. 1. How do you keep the saddlebags from falling into your wheel when leaned over in a turn? Is there a frame behind them required for use or do you just tie them off to the bike's frame? 2. Tankbags: Well, the X1 doesn't exactly have a flat top tank, nor is it a teardrop. Which type/shape of tank bag would best sit on this funky shaped tank? 3. Any opinions on how tall the tankbag can be before it becomes a nuisance? They seem to come between 5" to 16" high. 4. Tailbags: Ventura racks seem to get a lot of praise. Any reasons why this would be more desirable than a soft tailbag? 5. Can soft saddlebags be used with the ventura rack system? (my only reason for wanting saddlebags at all is the lower CG.) 6. Are the luggage raincovers actaually worth a damn? They obviously don't protect all 6 sides. Do they stay on well at high speeds and crosswinds? So far my list to consider is Ventura, RKA, Chase Harper, Marsee, Wolfman...missing any others? Any other things to consider? | ||
| Mbsween |
X1glider, You can't go wrong with the Ventura. Unless you're going go racing loaded up, or carry a couple gallons of mercury in the top part of the bag, it'll do you fine. Customer support is way better than good and quality is first rate. RKA is supposed to be similar in both quality and customer service. There's a post in the GDB today from someone who uses their stuff. As to tank bags, I have an Eclipse and a Tourmaster for my other bike (82 GPz 750, think huge flat tank). They didn't fit at all, the Buell bag works great, although its small. The rain cover kept the contents dry in a 300 mile downpour. Here's a pic of the bike loaded in motion  and a garage shot  if you want bigger pics try here buell.mbsween.com Matt | ||

This Wolfman set up is pretty good:  For serious travel I use the Buell X1 bags, Wolfman tankbag, and the Buell saddlepack. I'm good to go for at least a week and too many tools and security stuff for my own good. My $0.02 Neil S. | ||
| Mikej |
X1, Click my link.  The saddlebags have a strap that goes around the rear of the bike which helps to keeps the bottom rear corners out of the wheel. Some friends used a different brand of saddlebag and had a tire rub, they then learned that they were supposed to always cinch-up the inner strap that comes on that particular bag to help prevent this, that particular bag is deeper than the Buell saddlebags in the rear. I loaned this second set of saddle bags to BluzM2 and I don't think he got any tire rub from them. The tank bag on my M2 when expanded with the rain gear helped to block more wind from my body, and otherwise didn't really get in the way. The side pockets where I usually kept a few small tools and stuff would sometimes sag and lead to light dings in the tank paint. If this concerns you don't put heavy stuff in the side pockets of the tank bag, or get a tank bag without the side pockets. (The side pockets work good for snacks.) The only real concerns I had with the Ventura rack system were: 1. The pocketed bag would droop down over the rear of the rack and reduce visibility of the tail light. I got around this by adding a strip of Backoff type LED lights along the bottom of the license plate holder face. 2. It was real tempting to put a few fuel containers of bike gas and stove gas into the rear bag pocket. This led to more droopage. I liked the idea of having an extra quart or so of gas available, but never did need to use it. Let safety and your route be your guide. | ||
| X1glider |
Mikej, seen your link before. Looks like a 2 wheeled version of the Beverly hillbilly's truck. hehe I like to see people who have the balls to load up a sport bike. How can I also forget Blake's pics of his bike loaded up for the trip back east in the Tale section? Thanks everyone. I've tossed out Chase Harper and RKA due to feature design and style. Marsee is nice but not as functional or as big as I'd like. I'm down to Oxford and Wolfman. I like the Wolfman but it could use some more compartments. The saddlebags and tankbag would work well together with the Ventura rack. I give the Wolf a 1 week rating. I like to change my drawers every couple of days! hehe I really like the Oxford Products setup as a whole. Big, pockets, pockets, pockets! Well made. Great website too. I think the website quality sold me as much as the product. I definitely believe great websites can make a so-so company good, but make a good company better. They should all care so much. I need to find a distributor in the US for pricing yet. I like the look of the "Humpback" set but there's more room in the standard set. From the pix, the humpback tankbag would seem better all around because of tankshape and postioning of the map pocket. The Ventura? I'd love to have the 45 liter bag and I like the idea of having the rack to support a tent and sleeping bag, like in Matt's above pic. (MAtt was your tail light visible?) Who said there was a 25 lb limit? Really? I guess if the bag is on the seat and not hanging off the back, that's ok. A tent and bag typically only weighs around 10 lbs. Decisions, decisions.
Niel, why? What's wrong with using the Wolfman bags for serious travel? | ||
| Mikej |
I don't really view the M2 as a "sport bike", I think of it more as a "road bike". By the way, I still haven't figured out how Blake got that sofa stuffed into his luggage. | ||

I have been contemplating different communication systems for the upcoming riding season. I am trying to decide between the HJC Chatterbox models and the Collett 900. I like the idea of the HJC having the battery and everything in one package (no cord for power). The collett appears to have a remote battery or power cord. Can anyone relay some experience with either type? I am also looking for speaker ideas inside the helmet. Both mfr.'s above have speaker sets, but the KV archives seem to suggest that quality ear buds are the best bet. Any other ideas or opinions? | ||
| Josh |
I've got the Chatterbox FRS-X2. If you have a fairing (S3+ZeroGrav) and a quiet helmet (Shoei XP-S) it works good to 70MPH and 1mile (depending on wind and environment. With no 'sheild (Blast) and a noisy helmet (PolePosition HJC I think) it works good to 50MPH depending on the wind. Note that the speakers as mounted in my Shoei are an exercise in torture. I'd rather get them continuously pierced with no ice. I'd love to get ear buds to work with my Chatterbox but can't find any info on doing so. | ||

Last fall the case on my right saddle bag cracked. I was told by Buell Customer Service that my bike was out of warranty ('00 S3T) and there wasn't anything they could do. I also contacted the extended warranty company (purchased by previous owner and transferred) and was told that touring equipment was not covered on Buell motorcycles. I checked the warranty information that I had for the extended plan and sure enough it says that. I checked pricing at a dealership and it is approx. $300 for the case! I think that I can glue the case and get it somewhat watertight. Anyone have any suggestions for keeping them from cracking/cracking further? I saw this on ATC. Anyone tried it? I am basically looking for any suggestion/ solutions that anyone has. Thanks for the help, Aaron '00 S3T | ||
| Josh |
Kinger, I carefully read over the extended warranty paperwork and couldn't see anything it actually did cover. ASB's fix works if that's where your's is cracking. Mine crack right at the center of the bags. I haven't tried good epoxy yet, but I have high hopes for it. Try watching eBay, they pop up from time to time. | ||
| Kinger |
Thanks Josh. Mine cracked just in from of the top front mounting point. I saw a left side case on e-bay last week, I probably should have tried to get it for the future. I think I am going to give the ATC fix a try. I would think that if there was a 4th mounting point, the bags would vibrate with the bike, not because of it. | ||
| Josh |
Whoops, I was a little off. ASB has you changing the rubber stops to an actual mount. I was thinking of someone else's fix that had you reinforcing a corner to keep it from cracking. I think I need to start looking for good bags also as Buell is bound to stop making them (or already has?) and replace both of mine. Keep your cracked ones around 'cause along with a set of damaged shallow bags they're great for "sliders" on track days. | ||
| Jreichner |
I have a question about the now discontinued Buell chrome gas cap. I bought one from a dealer and I have recently found that HD/Buell never produced any chrome mounting hardware to replace the stock hardware. Does anyone have any solution to this besides having the stock hardware chromed? Just looking for ideas....Thanks in advance! | ||
| Mrandol |
Does anyone know if a 97 m2 has more than one tank that bolt on. I saw a tank for sale that said it was 4 gallons and would fit on 97-98 m2. | ||
| Blake |
MRandol, The '97 and '98 Cyclone fuel tanks are 4 gallon tanks and are the same as '96-'98 Lightning tanks. The 5 gallon tanks from the later ('99-'02) Cyclones, '98 White Lightnings and '97-'98 S3-Thunderbolts will also fit your '97 M2. | ||
| Blake |
BTW, a fuel tank is not normally considered as an "accessory", probably belongs in the "bodywork" topic eh? | ||
| Kinger |
I am looking at some saddlebag covers on e-bay. Do covers listed for a 97-98 S3T fit a 2000? Or is there a difference in the hinges. Thanks Aaron | ||

No they are not interchangeable. The hinge mount is different Aaron. The 97/98 is pinned shaped and the '99+ have rectangle slides. The latching mechanism may be different too. DAve Support out troops | ||

Reepicheep (wasn't that a mouse in Narnia?), So I have a Palm TungstenT (new model) and a Magellan GPS for the Palm M500 series. The Magellan came with 2 pieces of software, one from marcosoft.com, one from rand mcnally/handmark. Neither package would load on the Tungsten. Marcosoft has an update that works great for $50. Handmark sent me a new app that loads but won't see the GPS (I'm working with them on it). Mapopolis, gpspilot and others work great but also cost $$. I'd like to not spend any more $$, so I call Magellan to ask if they will be sending out updates (ie maybe they'll buy marcosofts new app and send it out). I wind up talking to "the go-to guy for Palm GPS" who informs me that their unit will absolutely not work with a Tungsten and he recommends I buy a NavMan (ie their main competition). To which I respond with the above (ie it works great but both software packages don't. One vendor is working on it the other wants $40 for a working update). Which astounds him since they have been referring customers to their competition ever since the Tungsten came out. He asked for my name and number in case his manager had questions ... | ||

He is not a mouse, he is THE mouse. The Reepicheep character captures much of what I aspire to be. A nice simple role model for me to follow when things get confusing. Anyway, I apologize Josh, I promised you something to test... I will pack it up now. Bill | ||
| Josh |
Ok, I phrased it badly. Reepicheep was way cool. But tell me my story wasn't funny. Sheesh, those guys... This just in, email from handmark.com: "Regarding the GPS issue, they seem to have found where the problem lies within the software and should be working on a fix. I'll have more details early next week." Cooool. Think I should call Magellan and let them know what their software supplier is up to? I'll try to do a nice writeup of everything I've learned to date. After it's all said and done. |
