"I have the Pro-series muffler and there is fiberglass leaking out of a hole in the bottom. Is there supposed to be a plug in that?"

Whether it's the SuperTrapp can for the stock header, or the stainless steel can for the race kit header, there isn't supposed to be a hole in the bottom of the muffler... just at either end.

It might be. But it could also be a weep hole for releasing condensation that builds up in the muffler after a short ride. ..less likely, but still a possibility.

Thanks for all the great speculation. I ordered the long strand ceramic stuffing for the the muffler from American Sport Bike. Pulled the muffler this weekend. 2 clamps in the rear and one in the front. One long mounting bolt and off it came. 3 allen machine screw 1/4 in coarse thread hold on the tip. Pulled the tip and saw there is a canister inside that is supposed to be held in place with a screw, (where the hole is). Pulled out the canister and tossed the old packing. Stood the muffler on end and packed the front real well. Wrapped what I could around the canister and pushed it back in, nudging in the packing material as it went. Lined up the canister screw hole with the muffler hole and screwed it in place with a shiny new 1/4 in coarse thread allen bolt. Bought new bolts for the tip so they'd all match, new long bolt and washers for the mount too. Put it all back together and fired her up. No more cobwebs!!! I ended up using just about half the packing material that came in the bag.

I have looked everywhere in the parts book and the service manual. I cannot find whether 2000 cyclones have 39 or 41 mm forks when ordering mounting brackets for lights. Any help. I do not have a micrometer or I would do it myself. Also what size handlebars 7/8" ???

I don't know the answer.

Do you have a big Crescent wrench and a tape measure or ruler? Use the wrench as a caliper:

39mm = 1.535" = 1-17/32"

41mm = 1.614" = just under 1-5/8" (1.625")

In case you don't have a big enough wrench handy, you can use a piece of string wrapped around the tube, mark where the string overlaps, straighten string, measure point to point marks, divide by 3.14 (today's date by the way, someone on a bicycle forum called today "pie day").

X-1 Chin spoiler on M2. Can anyone scan the instructions on mounting to bike. Bought NEW spoiler, purchased new hardware kit from American Sportbike but tiny paper inside only so helpful. Some of the bolts do not look right. Does anyone have a page from their manual to scan?, JPG, PDF any PC format.

Thanks

Transmission knocking. Oh man, what a week. I rode from Colorado to California to hook up with some friends and ended up a 3 different dealers on the way. Stop 1 was because I had oil on my rear tire. Turns out the connectors on the oil pump were loose. Stopped at Grand Canyon Harley/Buell. They found and fixed it. Got to Ca. started spilling primary fluid on my muffler. Clutch cable mounting bolt broke. Monterey Bay Harley hooked me up. Oh, also, I put in over 3 quarts of oil in Ca. Grand Canyon failed to refill my oil. I made it from Az to Ca without oil?!!! (Is that even possible????) When leaving Ca. my transmission began knocking loudly. Stopped at Days of Thunder HD. Not a Buell Dealer, they looked at it but no help. I had to fly home. Out of time. Now I'm wondering what might make the trany knock rhythmically. Any ideas appreciated.

Okay, for those that know... sounds like Dlaubscher is probably one of those, is the Supatrap supposed to have a closed end-cap inside at the top of the disk stack? Mine doesn't have one, is it gonna be loud; it's gonna be loud isn't it?

I've bought a used one [Supertrapp i.d.s. that is] and like yours, Dave, mine was also missing that screw, so I went to the local nut and bolt supply and got four of those 1/4" allans in stainless. I'm really looking forward to the additional midrange torque this pipe should add (lost a bit when I removed the white bros, but couldn't stand choking on my exhaust any longer) but opening it up shows missing hardware inside and an open end.

What's the word on that tranny then Dave, rhythmic knocking after running low on lube doesn't mean bad mains does it?

Hi Mike,
Still uncertain on the tranny. I's still in California waiting on me to get quit eating and spend the money at Monterey HD instead. : )
As for the Supertrapp. Yep, it's supposed to have an end-cap. I have seen them with 2 kinds. 1) angled and 2) strait and mostly open. Look around the end of the pipe. If you have holes for screws you are missing an end-cap. If there are screws in the holes, you likely have the strait and mostly open end-cap. Your gonna love the midrange and the tone!!!

M2 update.
Well, I just got off the phone with the dealer in Salinas, Ca. regarding my Cyclone. Tranny is shot. Main bearings at least. $2k is estimate for them to fix it. I'm going to have it towed to my daughters place in Los Banos but now I don't know what I'm going to do with it. Might just sell it out there. This sucks!

ok guys i need to replace the rocker cover gaskets here soon shes puking. what i am trying to avoid is getting the wrong part. now i have seen a lot on here that the metal newer style gasket is the way to go. my question is if i happen to look on ebay or even call the local harley shop what is the differance in the a b or c that follows the part number as in 17036-91a. i have an 01 m2 for those wondering. just wanna make sure i get it correct the first time because the closest harley shop is 30 miles one way and they are not a buell dealer, as well as the gentelman on the phone i spoke with didnt exactly increase my confidence while speaking to him. is it a buell thing and he doesnt understand???? lol

Shag,

Call Liberty Buell, they are a board sponsor, ask for Chris, aka "Moose."

He will get you the right set of gaskets and mail them to you asap. Would most likely be there in two days if you call in the AM...possibly the next day if you call when they open and he's able to ship them out that same day.

That's your best bet.

Question---Have any of you had your XL engines (2000 M2L Cyclone) Blowing transmission fluid out of the left side vent tube? I've been told it's a rear main seal. 22,000+ miles on engine. Problem started about 500 miles after installing a clutch. Some ideas would be appreciated, Thanks-1FNGR

Hey One_finger, Sounds like the crank seal to me. I had that happen. Got bad enough that my rear tire was coated in oil. Found that out after a squirly time getting on the freeway. Boy THAT was fun.
Here is a link to read up a bit on the issue. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/144682.html I and others here have done this and can answer specific questions if you have any. Good luck

No it will not, the 99+ pipes went under the frame. People have put them on 95-98 bikes, but they had to beat the hell out of the pipes to get them to fit.
