Baker ipb seal leak
On my second ipb seal from the baker ipb kit (06 street bob). Anybody else experience this? 1st one was a blunder on my part, but the second one was by the book. Still leaks, but
only after riding. Defn not trans oil, running shock proof heavy there, and I can see it
coming from the IP side.

The first time around I realized that I had put the seal in backwards. Given how the
seal is designed I didn't think it would be a problem, but when it started leaking I figured I
had better replace it (CYA). Made sure the 1st and 2nd time that the main shaft was alright, took some 600 grit to it, checked for nicks, etc... Went on a ride on Sat. leaked a few visible drop after the 1st 100 miles or so, after that seem to get a bit better. Can't visually see it drip anymore, but can still feel the oil on the backside of the IP case.
