Micah,
I found that ECM I was telling you about. I'll PM you as well. I bought it from someone on here for $55, and shipping.
Part No. is 32680-96Y
I have no idea what the hell it's for, but I know for sure it isn't for a 99-02 Cyclone, which is what I was told it was for. It is the Race ECM, as it say 6800RPM on it and says "Buell Lightning Series." It will also come with a sticker that hasn't been used either. =) |

Well I read through the thread again because I remember someone (Buellistic), posting part numbers, and I found this:
BUELL Pro Series Module PN 32680-96Y which is the same as H-D PN 32633-96 ...
This matches the part number I have. So, looks like I have what you may want. =) Let me know, I could use the money. |

That sounds like the one for the m2, i thought the 2002 m2's were kinda different. |

Guell, it doesn't fit the M2. Trust me, mine has two plug in's on the ECM (I already have the Race ECM, just stockpiling, lol), and this one has a plug attached to wires coming out of it. |

Thanks for the offer, I am considering it...
but I have a question? What is the difference from the one I have? Other than the obvious 1200rpm limit difference.
I have decided I will be doing a 1250 kit with XB heads stock for now.
Which ECM would be better? |

Nutz, as i said before, the 2002 m2 ecm was different.
That one fits 97-2001 |

Oh, lol.
You didn't put a year there, the post kind of confused me.
The connector will fit the earlier models yes. My bad |

Yes it is a technically a GL1800, but I will be damn if my 34 year old brain will spit out anything other than ST1800.
LOL, I have ridden full dress touring bikes since my early 20's. Started with a 84 Yamaha Venture then a 86 Suzuki Cavalcade.
People thought I was weird (well maybe I am). I remember taking road trips with my family as a kid to New York from PA and seeing all the touring bikes and going I'm gonna get me one of those one day.
I had a little intermission with a Sport Tourer by the name of Yamaha GTS1000 with hard luggage. Then back to a touring bike in the stable with my first Electra Glide. |

I love touring bikes; particularly the S2T. A couple years ago you would've heard me longing for a RoadGlide or a StreetGlide. Now I still like those, and my dad's Ultra, but I want something that's still light, agile, and damn exciting. That's why I fell in love with the S2. I can't wait to build my S2T so I can tour and show it across the country. |

These part numbers are for my 1997 S3T ...
Lighting Series Race Fork Springs PN 45989-96Y and sold for $42.50 for KIT(2 springs)...
Do not know what these retro fit to, "BUT" on my 1997 S3T they are DU BUSHING,upper(2) "BUELLschitte" PN J9139.8 and DU BUSHING,lower(2) PN J9129.8 ... In the 106 PLUS miles n my S3T they have been replaced once ...
The reason "i" say "BUELLschitte" part number is you can not tell when the part was first used by looking at the part number, "BUT" the HARLEY-DAVIDSON part number you can ... |

Sometimes things are just on a higher plane than you may understand. I'm sure the Buell part number system has great meaning to the Buell staff that have created it. Things probably way more significant than the first year the part was used. But then again on a higher plane.

The REAL "BUELLschitte" is they do not want you to know what "RETRO-FITS" across the many Model plate forms ...
This way you have to rely on the PARTS technician PERSON(BUELL) to tell you what you need and not what will "RETRO-FIT" ...
ie: What SPORTSTER parts "RETRO-FIT" to TUBE FRAME, BLAST, and XB Models ...
ie: What "RETRO-FITS" from the BIG TWIN Models ...
IMHO your plane just crashed !!! |

So are you saying this is a conspiracy by "they" to keep you from using H-D part numbered items on your Buell. Very interesting! |

What Buellistic and many others of us have learned is that you cannot rely on the HD/Buell parts person to give you a part they have in stock (non Buell) unless you have the HD part number. Having the Buell part number is not enough. I do not work at a dealership so I do not know if the items are cross referenced, I am betting they are not.
As far as what fits what; this has always been a problem with HD. Since (years ago) there was very little change from year to year and model to model many parts would fit many bikes but there is no way to know that by talking to the parts person at a dealership.
This was such a problem that a few smart guys got together and published a book to reference what HD parts fit other HD bikes and even included some non-HD parts from car parts suppliers.
I never bought points (yes I am old), plugs, starters etc from HD, I got them from AC Delco or other sources. Same part but different package. I actually used a Honda Civic starter motor, that I got from a junk yard, on a Evo Sporty. Fit perfect, worked better.
It is not a conspiracy but think about the different models of Harleys and Buells. A XB is a XB and you can interchange many parts. More so with a tuber. The part numbers may be different and the parts person has no way of knowing what fits what.
If I can I will usually bring the part with me. I just did this with a clutch cable. I got one a little longer from a FXR that fits my S2.
I would trust what Buellistic is saying and if you see his bike in person you can tell he knows what he is talking about. No one puts 100K plus on a tuber without learning what will work and what will not work and you can bet he has gone through a certain level of frustration the the parts numbering over the years.

Makes sense to me. I wouldn't doubt it, especially considering how little most dealerships want Buell people crouding their sales floors.. |

Good information Buellers and thus the reason I started this thread about the tear down and rebuild of a custom tuber.
Frank, I appreciate you chiming in here. I remember seeing you and your S1 at MBV. It was a pleasure speaking with you and oogling the bike. Yet another inspiration for my custom tuber.
Buellistic, I don't believe I have met you yet, but the bike comes from your neck of the woods. I do appreciate the part number schooling. I will need a lot of advice over the coming months.
Speaking of....
will i be able to install the triple tree from a xb into the tuber without modifying the neck |

My first response is yes as long as the fork tubes are the same size but I am not sure. I am not sure about the stops or the clearance issues with the neck. You can use XB bearings in the neck of a tuber, they are sealed and last longer.
If I was going to do that I would use the whole front end from a XB. I am not at home so I cannot compare the two. I am sure someone can comment on that.

Frank,
That is what I wanted to hear. I am purchasing an entire front end from an XB and I didn't know if I was going to be forced to modifying the Tuber neck or not.
I will pick up some XB bearings for the swap ... good call. |

Slowride, before you do that please do a search on this site to make sure. The only reason I say that is because I have not done that myself and am not sure of any problems you might encounter. I have seen it done in the past.
Thanks for the comments on the S1W.

You will have to press out the steering stem from the tuber trees and press it into the XB triples. You can also use a stem from '86-'03 sportsters and some big twins. |

Today I managed to find a little time to work on the garage in preparation for the “Trailer Trash” project. I looked around to survey the damage from working on so many other projects that although I finished them, I never quite got the garage put back the way it was meant to be. Admittedly, the place was a damn wreck. So, much like the Buell project will be handled, I decided to work on the garage in chunks. I didn’t think about taking pictures of the before, so you will only get to see the finished product for this initial chunk of work.
In June of 2007 my father and I took a road trip from Dallas to Montana on the bikes. I coined the trip the “Chasing the Sun Tour” due to our daily westward advance over 2 weeks.
While I was away on this great adventure, the girlfriend went to IKEA and to Lowe’s to pick up a work bench top and some steel sawhorses. She put the whole thing together in the garage and it was a very nice surprise when I returned home from the long road trip. It is a fairly sturdy setup as the sawhorses are rated at over 2400lbs for the pair and the top is right at 1.5 inches thick. I have been using this setup for several projects and I found I continually wanted to put some kind of rubber or foam covering over the top to give me some much need friction when messing about with oily parts. I also noticed that with some heavier items loading the table down it tends to sag ever so slightly in the middle.
I decided today was the day to fix both issues. I ran to Lowe’s and picked up a third sawhorse rated at 1200lbs and some rubber fatigue matting. I also picked up some florescence shop lighting, a nagging problem I wanted to remedy as well. After getting back to the house I noticed the new sawhorse was 2 inches shorter or 2 inches higher compared to the other two, depending on the leg height I chose. I took stock and found some extra 2x4’s and 2x2 rails. I cut them to the size of the table and slotted them between the new sawhorse and the table top. I secured them to the top with wood screws and braced the back of the wood rails to the garage studs with brackets. I then cut the fatigue matting to fit and mounted up the shop lights.
Lastly, there is a thread going over in the Quickboard about Garage Cabinets. I figured I would show my setup for storing my riding, camping, extra tools, etc…
Anyone else into stickers, I can’t bring myself to put them on the bike…

Ever decide if you wanted that race module?
I don't know if it's for your bike or not, you'll have to check into it. I have someone who also would like it, but you have first dibs as I offered it to you. |
