I've owned 2 buells, so far;a '98 S3-T and a '00 M2. My wife had an '01 Blast. On all three bikes, the oil drain hose had a plastic plug.(or stopper)I have two friends with S3s that have metal plugs. both say it came from the factory that way. one is a '97 in Chelsea, Mass. The other is an '02 in Milwaukee.
I just want to know if there really is a mix of plastic and aluminum plugs out there, or are they the exceptions? I'm not talking about switching the stock plug for an aftermarket plug; Did your Tube Frame Buell come with a metal or plastic oil drain hose plug?

'98 S1W - plastic
'00 M2 - plastic
I ordered one from Buell for a breather drain project, and it was aluminium, so it went on the S1W and the plastic one went to the project

I sure hope you don't have an oil drain hose on that S-2,Roadthing,cuz I'm kinda partial to those shiny aluminum oil tanks.
