Another simple process being made into rocket science.

Set the level at the outside diameter of the clutch shell, on any OEM clutch, mid 1984 or later.

Ounces make a huge difference.

Right! Drain it all out, then add the correct amount. Done!

The discussion topic is 2007 FXDL. My FSM says "add 32 ounces". No mention of clutches or levels.

I would definitely uses the amount level on that one.

Harley example for level with the hydraulic clutch actuated by a slave cylinder

That's what the clutch looks like in the wife's '22 FXBBS

Let the primary drain for 5 or 10 minutes to get all of the old fluid out. Replace the drain plug and dump a quart of fluid back in it. Even if it's a little below the bottom of the diaphragm spring, there's still plenty of fluid in there and it will get picked up and splashed around when the clutch spins.

Yes, and year and model. The difference between a 2004 and 2007 is 5 onces along most lines of Harleys.

Those pesky engineers thought that extra torque needed a little more lubrication. Or maybe the casting molds were a little worn?

Harleys are way more complicated then Rocket Science. Rockets are simple. Light the fuse and step back.. Now posting on the HDFORUM does come with a with a few rocket launchers.
