Ok, in my FSM for my 2002 M2, the taillight assembly show a harness that plugs in to the main harness somewhere. In reality, the harness for the taillight is interwoven into the main harness near the flasher. There is no plug. I wanted to replace that harness so I wouldn't have a cut harness anymore, but I am thinking this is not an option?? I'll post a pic later today, but why is it that the FSM shows one thing (yes, its for my model year), and reality is totally different. Thanks! |

I think you have to cut the wire's outer loom wrapping far enough to get to the plug\or connection's |

I don't feel a connector anywhere though... If it's all one piece, I'm just going to replace the whole harness...that way I'll know nothing is corroded anymore, LOL |

My taillight harness connector was around the Ignition box connector, but mine's a '97. |

Looks like the 2002's had a completely different harness from the rest because I cut the loom back a foot or so, and there is no such connector for the taillight. Damn. Well, good excuse to buy a new harness and forego any future corrosion issues. Damn, this is going to be damn near a complete overhaul... |

>>>>Damn, this is going to be damn near a complete overhaul... You are not alone . . . I was going to "freshen up" one of my bikes and ended up doing EVERYTHING and more from powder coating the cases to blue printing the motor . . .new electrics, brakes, the works. It's a sickness I tell ya!

Crazy, My bike is completely torn apart, there is nothing attached to the frame as of right now, nothing. I'm going to call up Buell to see what they may do. |

I'm thinking of the last guy who called and asked a question about a tube frame bike. . . . the response was something like "cool, no kidding, we used to make tube frames?" . . . where has the time gone! Call and tell the folks at Customer Service you've torn it apart and don't know how to put it back together. . . . we did that to a guy in the Marine Corps once . . . tore his .45 apart and then left him with the pieces in a hankerchief. Do you have a parts manual? That'll be as much help, or more, putting it back together than the service manual. |

Court... I'm the same guy in your forum asking you. The service manual told me something that didn't exist on my bike so it informed me WRONG! |
