Default 06 streetbob oil leak???

I just checked my 06 Streetbob and noticed about a six inch wide puddle of oil underneath it. The oil is leaking out of the clutch cable at the clutch lever. The puddle developed that much oil in about a two hour period after a short (20 mile) ride. Has anyone ever heard of this, or has anyone ever had this problem? Thanks.

I had that problem on my sportster.&nbsp\\; I had removed the primary case to install an auto tensioner and removed the cable and also replaced the clutch cable a few months earlier and apparently weakened the threads in the case.&nbsp\\; I don't know if there is a thread repair kit for that or a new case.&nbsp\\; I traded it in for my SB.

I'm starting to think the twin cam&nbsp\\;dynas are made in a back alley in Mexico. My 06 charging system failed already. 10,000 miles and no warranty. Great.
