Is there such a site where you can punch in your model and look at exploded views with parts numbers? Come on "oldtimeBuellers" give us some Candy

Yes there is, H-D net. And unless you work for a dealer you won't be getting on it anytime soon. Go figure. Hell, even Ducati gives you parts manuals to download for free. Hope that answers your question.

If you have a specific part you were interested in learning more about, or a specific area on a bike, one might be able to help you somewhat.

But generally, no, you "regular" folks can't handle that level of detail. :P

KIDDING!!!

Bottom Line:

You gotta buy your own parts book, which has the exploded views and part numbers.

Very well done too.

Actually you may consider yourself lucky that the Motor Company even deigns to sell you one. Goes against the great Harley Tradition of not letting the lowly customer have any information about his machine.

But luckily the Motor Company has another tradition: don't let the guys at the part counter do anything but take the customers part number.

This goes double for Buell Parts. If you don't know the parts number, you simply are out of business.

So..... sell the customer the parts book, let him do all the work.

Believe me, after you try to order Buell parts, (or Harley parts for that matter), you will really feel you got your money's worth for the book. They cost about $30 if I recall.

Of course you still need the shop manual if you want to know how the parts go back together, and that's another fifty.

Good Luck.

If you call me and just describe what you need, not only will I tell you the part number and price, if I don't have it I tell you who does.
And I don't even work at the counter. I sit upstairs at a desk.

Gentleman_Jon, find yourself a shop manual for ANY PRE-Evo/ "Eagle Sour's Alone" model Harley. They show repairs and MACHINING repairs. It is just the new-baby boomer/specalist generation of thinking.

What I'd like to see is an updated / revised parts lookup . The old number system has changed , confusing ?, yes it is.

The old system was much like Harley Davidson , five numbers , a dash , followed by two numbers and often a letter , indicating a revision or updated part.

Many of the old Buell #'s sub to a new number , in effect , making old parts catalogs & numbers obsolete. Some of the parts are now obsolete , more of them will be dropped but many sub to a new number.

Out of curiousity the other day, I put the part number of the harness I needed "YH401.02A8" in to google to see if I find a picture of it to make sure the number was right.

Hoping to find something like 'Bike Bandit' , where you can access the entire motorcycle to the smallest bolt. But no Buell, bummer, have to get the book then.
