Blake, If I remember right, he flips the peg hangers upside down. The S3's have dropped footpegs, flip them and you gain several inches. I could be wrong, and if it's Tuesday I probably am.  | ||

Anybody know anything about Two Brothers slip fit mufflers? Good, bad, indifferent. Seems the White Bros disintegrate, my local HD place says can't jet for the D&D offering, V&H seems to break rivits and regurgitate internals... Can't figure which muffler???? Thanks. | ||

Can't jet for the D&D?? You need to go to a different dealer!!! | ||

Thanks Josh, it was probably just a Sportster S or something, it looked pretty stock (or a super-clean aftermarket install). I think he said it was an early 90 or late 80's model. That answers my question, that Harley did make them stock. This bike had a lot of the chrome blacked out, looked nice, which would make sense for a Harley "S" model. The Sportster Sport  What does that make our Buells? | ||

Thanks to everyone for all the help! | ||

Stubby: I have had good luck with the WHite Bros. THe Two Bros is also good but not as good as the WB. Best, IMHO, is the Buell (Supertrap) slip-on. The latest one is very well built and seems to hold up VERY well. The way you can tell the old version from the new is the new "Buell" version has the elbow attached to the can and the front support is reinforced. The rear support on the old was just a loop of Aluminum. THe new rear support is two SS clamps that attach to another braket on the bike's "Z" bracket. Drop me a line if you have any questions. BTW, what are you putting this on? Neil S. | ||

Note to self... Breaking a clutch cable during rush hour sucks. Don't do it again.....  Tough ride home from work yesterday. I got 2 miles from work and the head pulled off the lever end of my clutch cable. Kind of tricky timing the stop lights and signs so I wouldn't have to stop. Only had to stop twice. Pop into neutral and coast to a stop, hop off and push 3 or 4 quick steps, hop on and slip into first and smile at the gawkers. Good thing I picked up a spare on Ebay last year. Very smart $20 investment. Took all of 20 minutes to put on the new cable. Vrooom vroom, back on the road again! Moral of the story; Check your clutch cables folks. Don't forget to lube the lever end once in a while. My old cable still looked good but the swedged end snapped right off. Must have been frayed inside the lever. Can't complain really, I did get over 19K miles on the original. Brad | ||

Now I'm scared. I've got 42K miles on my original clutch cable. Should I change it? It looks fine. Feels fine. | ||

Jeff, Probably wouldn't hurt to pull the lever end and give it a quick visual. Only takes a few seconds and may save a future headach. Wish I had..... Funny thing is, now that I think about it I had a warning sign but missed it. The clutch started to drag a bit and neutral was harder to find a couple of rides previous to the failure. It was real gradual, I chalked it up to normal wear. Oops! | ||
| Hootowl |
Now that you mention it, mine is doing that too. I was about to adjust it. Think I'll buy another one. | ||

Quick question... Any problem using brass fittings with gasoline lines (no metal to metal contact)? This is actually for a VW Westy, but I used brass fittings for my breather setup on the Cyclone and it looks fine. Thanks in advance, Bill | ||
| Blake |
Mike, You are... correct!  The S3T's do indeed have the offset/lower pegs. Even so, that would still seem to be peg grinding territory. | ||
| Blake |
Guys, Tech questions to the Knowledge Vault? Hate to lose such great info. | ||

Boese, Great flick that. | ||

You are both right and wrong The M2/S3 have lower pegs than an X1 I use the old S2 Touring peg relocation kit upside down to give me an extra inch of clearance. I'd show you a picture from the Buell website, but you would not know they ever made a bike or accesories for a bike called the S2 from looking at their website. Mike, you got that for me at Hal's, remember?? | ||
| Mikej |
Yep, but I thought it was an S3 peg kit. Seeing you do that on the S3 makes me think the S2 might not be as bad at B-Trax as I'd thought. I've been using the M2 due to it being more crashable if it lays down (less bodywork damage). I'm going to have to do a little clearance and angle measuring this weekend and maybe start shopping for new tires. | ||
| Jim_witt |
José, When you have time, how about a "close up" shot of the pegs on YOUR S3. -JW:> | ||
| Blake |
JQ, The S3T's also had the "touring" pegs no? Still, that lean angle would darn near scrape rearsets. I'm sure your boots suffered significant beveling of the outboard soles. Where you been hiding? | ||
| Buelliedan |
Blake, No.  | ||

Land Speed Question? What would it take to make a 350Z go 190 mph? I've got a kid telling me that if he just took off the rev limmiter on his 350Z, he could go 190 easy. I'm calling BS. I remember reading some formula as to how much hp it takes vs aerodynamics and etc. Anyone want to give me a quick schoolin'? (Message edited by eeeeek on May 13, 2003) | ||

Dudes and Dudettes (?) I cannot seem to keep my primary chain from rattling and coming out of adjustment. I just had the dealer install a new shoe for primary adjustment, and I adjusted it twice in the last 300 miles, and again last night. Rode 20+ miles to work and back today and it is rattling again. What gives here? Regards, Stubb. | ||

Please drop me an email direct if you don't mind, or CC me at Buell1pilot2002@wmconnect.com | ||

Just my 2 cents, From what I've read the top speed in stock form is about 155mph and has a ECU that initiates an engine power cutoff at that speed. The cofficient drag was .30 and putting out arround 280 HP. I would think that gearing would be the main problem (or finding the gearing). There's no way he'd see 190 "easily".  -JW:> | ||

I use the old S2 Touring peg relocation kit upside down to give me an extra inch of clearance. How about a pic and a part number, sounds interesting Roger | ||
| José_quiñones |
Roger, This pic shows the bracket on an X1, but mine is set up the same.  The part # is 50547-94Y, MSRP $100 | ||

You can see it on my bike in the lower left section of this photo:  The other secret is my super sticky Dunlop 205 tires, who says they don't grip in the wet?  Trust your tires.... | ||
| José_quiñones |
one more to drive the point home....  | ||

Anyone live near Needles, Ca? If so got a spare chain for a BigTwin? |
