Then realized 5th gear was fine but 6th started to rattle and slip and grab so I rode it to HD in 5th at a reduced speed.

The dealer said they test rode it and checked it out and they are putting a new gear-pak in the tranny. I don't know what failed but should have it back soon. Hope it didn't extend any issues to the primary.

Was curious why you posted this in an "M8 problems" thread? Nice looking bike but did you have a problem with it?

I wouldn't consider your situation an M8 problem. Being that it was self-induced.

That may be. But yours is the first case I've heard of about cracked heads when going with a Stage III kit.
