mid controls
hey guys, I recently switched from forward controls to mids. after riding for about an hour, I looked down to see I was leaking oil from the shifter shaft hole on my primary. any ideas on why it would be leaking? it isn't a lot of oil, it kind of looks like excess is draining from the hole............nevermind guys, please do not reply to this thread. I found the answers I needed on an older one.

Greetings from Claremont! Have you ridden to Mount Baldy Village yet?
I changed from mid controls to forwards, but left the cross shaft in place (crosses thru the inside of the primary) without cutting it off ....anyway, just curious , when you had forward controls what was covering the cross shaft, like a cap or anything? What year is your bike? Street Bob?

There is a pop in plug for the outer I think... I did it clean by removing the inner primary, and replacing it with a chromed piece off of a softail ( no hole for mids ), then cut a piece of gasket material for the outer's hole, and the aforementioned chrome plug. I may eventually swap my outer for a chrome unit from a WG.

Check for the same thing happened to me when I retrofit my 09 FXDL... double check you have a "tower gasket" in the correct place.
When I took everything apart it went flying into an oil pan i had below the primary and never knew it was there...until everyrhing leaked after installation.
