Default Tower Gasket

I just changed my tower gasket last year and noticed its leaking again! Does anybody have any insight as to why its leaking again after having a new one installed last year?

if your not running mid controls it will continue to slip or shift out of position and cause a leak as there is no shifter shaft running thru the tower... i solved my problems with this by removing my outer primary and plugging the holes with 9/16s freeze plugs from napa..

Im about to change mine too bro.. coming up on a year of ownership. Its a 09 FXD. It should be warranty I guess but I'll probably do it myself so I can strip/polish the outer primary.


Seems easy enough to change...?
