Author Message   Jersey_thunder Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 10:55 am:        Is there a difference between 96' / 97' / 98' S1 controls? looking to upgrade my levers   Court Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 11:21 am:        >>>>Is there a difference between 96' / 97' / 98' S1 controls? No. They were all the same . . . from C.E.V. . . . . I think. However . . . you should take that with a grain if salt as I am a " pompous know-it-all". I read it on the internet.   Jersey_thunder Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 11:57 am:        i agree... but they list 97 up.... not to fit 96   Court Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 12:55 pm:        Well . . let's look First of all . . . the parts catalog is a common 1996/1997 book. So . . . off I go to page 54 and, sure enough . . you are right . . . they are listed as DIFFERENT part numbers. Right you are . . . I've not clue what the change was . . I'd have to check with the engineer who did the hand controls. I'm trying to recall if the pinout changed for any reason on the wiring. I don't recall any cosmetic changes.   Jersey_thunder Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 01:43 pm:        clutch lever is the same part number for 96/98   Jersey_thunder Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 01:44 pm:        brake the same..can't find it?   Buellistic Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 04:08 pm:        From 1997 to the end of the TUBE FRAME production run the levers were polished and the same ... "BUT", the BLAST levers are the same and are BLACK !!!   Jersey_thunder Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 06:26 pm:        ok,buellistic...my question is : the levers i found are ONLY listed for 97 up...will they work on a 96 ? thanks for your help   Buellistic Posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 11:57 pm:        "SORRY", but to answer your question correctly by what you asked ... 1996 back used HARLEY-DAVIDSON controls on 1 inch handle bars ... Belive "i" am correct on this ... 1997 forward used 7/8 inch hand bars ...   Court Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2011 - 05:24 am:        1996 S2 used HD levers 1996 S1 did not. You are dangerously close to making me dig out engineering drawings.   Jersey_thunder Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2011 - 08:02 am:        BUELLISTIC, are the levers the same? court, i believe 96 used ducati type levers ....   Bluzm2 Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2011 - 11:31 am:        LaFayette, My 2000 M2 has black levers however they are all the same from 97 on as you stated. One caveat, the 97 and 98 S1's had different throttle assemblies. They totally SUCK to get back together correctly. Not sure about the 96 S1 either, I've only worked on 97 and up. Brad   Buellistic Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2011 - 11:41 am:        Court: Thanks for the correction ... The KEY is if the TUBE FRAME BUELLS have 1 inch handle bars it uses H-D controls and if 7/8 inch handle bars it has metric controls ...   Buellistic Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2011 - 11:56 am:        Bluzm2: This is why you'll should pay attention when a up-dates on done on a new model year and if you have a 1997 model and the 1998 model has a new throttle you replace with the newer throttle to up-date your model ... Now these HARLEY-DAVIDSON Parts technician persons will say that it will not fit, well it is BUELLschitte because it will !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Jersey_thunder Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2011 - 06:15 pm:        ok... sooooooo 97' levers will not fit 96' controls ?   Bluzm2 Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2011 - 10:15 pm:        LaFayette, I know what you mean. When I rebuilt an S1 a while back, I changed out the throttle assembly. The stocker was terrible. I couldn't get it adjusted correctly so that it wouldn't stick. Not good!   Jersey_thunder Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2011 - 10:51 am:        SOOOOOOOO nobody knows.... lmao, i'll figure it out thanks   Foximus Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2011 - 11:42 am:        Well after all this silly debate, why dont you just post up a picture of what your actual lever is? Then we Will know. (and if you want a bad ass throttle assembly, just get a dirtbike setup, nothing is better than that.) Get you some levers!   Blks1l Posted on Sunday, March 06, 2011 - 11:31 pm:        I have never had any issues with my factory throttle assembly! I am not looking for any quick ratio throttle.
