O'Rilley's has filters in BLACK ...

There is a PLUG in the oil tank drain line ...

If "i" have not already sent you OIL SYSTEM Class 101, just PM me and "i" will do so ...
If you do not have a FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL and PARTS BOOK, you need to get them for your YEAR/MODEL BUELL...
The size on the oil filter wrench depends on the size of the oil filter you are running ...

Is not the big nut on the side of the oil pan the drain nut? I have the service Manual but it doesn't say what size nut it is ... My biggest wrench is 7/8 and its to small

On an S2 the oil is drained from the tank on the left side of the bike.
The gasket can be reused if it's in good shape. If memory serves (doubtful these days...) the drain bolt is either 3/4 or 7/8.
