This may be common knowledge here, but I just wanted to mention that if your fuel petcock needs replaced, the Acerbis brand appears to be an exact replacement, and can be bought for about twenty bucks brand new. I put one on my S2 and it appears to be exactly the same as the stock one was. I've seen crazy prices on ebay for old used Buell petcocks, then spent some time finding a replacement for a reasonable price. The Acerbis petcocks come in left and right versions and I think you can get either plastic or metal levers. If you neeed a new petcock check it out and you might save some money.

Just go to ebay and do a search for "acerbis petcock" and there are usually numerous listings. I had my nephew order me one through his motorcycle shop.
