Manuals, Bulletins, Articles, Notes, and Exploded views

for EVO powered (pre XB - 04) Buell

MCMOD IS GOING PAPERLESS  (at least the shop is)

We are converting our hardcopy over to pc (virtual) for a number of reasons;

  • most of these operations have been done one or more times and this provides quick access to torque values and clearences.
  • unfamiliar operations will have important notes and tips pop up.
  • hard to read images are enlarged (maintaining detail) in a separate window so us old farts can read them better.
  • Notes and tips can be applied more globally (not just on one page in a single manual or on scrap paper which can, and does get lost).
  • When "friends" "borrow" our material we always have a copy on hand so we can keep wrenching.
  • The factory installation instructions, safety and service bulletins, are organized better  (got tired of diggin in the "paper bag")
  • Each of our machines have a journal kept of  specs, mods, dates and times so we can track performance changes better.
  • I got tired of trying read through the grease and oil stains!
At this time 02/28/09 the text, that is linked (articles, bulletins, and such) are done, I am working on the rest yet , and will notify of new posted uploaded material.

ABOUT THIS MATERIAL We have made every effort to be faithful to the source material. Do not think of this as a collection of several cataloged books, articles and such but rather a single book that covers the transition of the 1200 Evolution Engine powered Buell. This was not compiled for the individual who is only doing repairs on a particular model year but, rather for the modder whose machine like this manual covers numerous model/years.
Products other than the Buell Motorcycle, Harley-Davidson, and Screaming Eagle (Harley-Davidson) brand parts are NOT endorsed. We do not endorse any third party aftermarket parts (performance or replacement). There are many paths to the same destination; this is just a map of the area not the route.

NOTE: To get the best use out of this material- read the operation first and know your mechanical abilities.
