Ok, in my FSM for my 2002 M2, the taillight assembly show a harness that plugs in to the main harness somewhere. In reality, the harness for the taillight is interwoven into the main harness near the flasher. There is no plug. I wanted to replace that harness so I wouldn't have a cut harness anymore, but I am thinking this is not an option?? I'll post a pic later today, but why is it that the FSM shows one thing (yes, its for my model year), and reality is totally different. Thanks! | ||

I think you have to cut the wire's outer loom wrapping far enough to get to the plug\or connection's | ||

I don't feel a connector anywhere though... If it's all one piece, I'm just going to replace the whole harness...that way I'll know nothing is corroded anymore, LOL | ||

My taillight harness connector was around the Ignition box connector, but mine's a '97. | ||

Looks like the 2002's had a completely different harness from the rest because I cut the loom back a foot or so, and there is no such connector for the taillight. Damn. Well, good excuse to buy a new harness and forego any future corrosion issues. Damn, this is going to be damn near a complete overhaul... | ||

>>>>Damn, this is going to be damn near a complete overhaul... You are not alone . . . I was going to "freshen up" one of my bikes and ended up doing EVERYTHING and more from powder coating the cases to blue printing the motor . . .new electrics, brakes, the works. It's a sickness I tell ya!  | ||

Crazy, My bike is completely torn apart, there is nothing attached to the frame as of right now, nothing. I'm going to call up Buell to see what they may do. | ||

I'm thinking of the last guy who called and asked a question about a tube frame bike. . . . the response was something like "cool, no kidding, we used to make tube frames?" . . . where has the time gone! Call and tell the folks at Customer Service you've torn it apart and don't know how to put it back together. . . . we did that to a guy in the Marine Corps once . . . tore his .45 apart and then left him with the pieces in a hankerchief. Do you have a parts manual? That'll be as much help, or more, putting it back together than the service manual. | ||

Court... I'm the same guy in your forum asking you. The service manual told me something that didn't exist on my bike so it informed me WRONG! |
