primary overfill?
Just changed all my fluids in the Bob and am wondering if i overfilled the primary...it took the full 32 oz. and the oil came right up to the little lip at the bottom of the primary cover hole. The bike was close to upright. I have read here that the oil level in the primary is a little more forgiving than the crankcase or tranny...should i drain a little or am i worrying about nothing. Have put 30 miles on it since and it seems fine.Also...anyone installing the rigid sideplates for a sissy bar be careful of the wires...found out at 11:30 at night that i had no left turn signal and my alarm light was on...i had accidentally stripped some insulation off the wires when reinstaaling the long bolt from the turn signal assembly and the wires were shorting together.Nothing a little electrical tape couldn't fix...
