"I got my frame and swing arm back from the powder coater this week, so the build begins".
sgr60..Very nice. I have a question for you...What did you use, or more directly, how did you seal the inner primary bolts to the engine\trans? It seems that oil could seep behind the bend tab washers and drip out the back. I couldn't find anything in the HD factory manual suggesting RTV or a like sealant.
Thanks in advance.
