Need to do my first oil change before the 1,000 mile dealer change. Can I get what I need from H.D. dealers or do I need to get to a Buell dealer for filter, washers, etc. No Buell dealer nearby but H.D. dealers about 12 miles away. If yes, can someone tell me what parts to ask for?

"Black" filter (make sure to tell them it's for a Buell).
"O" Rings for plugs

You won't need the inspection or filler seals for the primary case.

DO NOT USE THE MANUAL SPECS FOR TORQUING DOWN THE PLUGS ON THE PRIMARY OR CRANKCASE OR YOU WILL STRIP OUT BOTH.

Use a firm hand tighten instead.
