Lucky for me my brother in law was an hd mechanic for 10 years and my ol lady is super supportive. I have a Polaris atv that’s a big money pit as well lol
If you look hard you can find some good deals on parts, mines a "budget build" and I'm up to around $3,500.00 including purchase. But I got some SMOKIN DEALS on some parts too...right place-right time.

Got the rear end parts and new seat rough fitted. Had to do a little chop here and weld there but it’s on. Found the primary leak. It’s actually a trans leak running out between inner primary and trans. Bunch of parts from ronnies HD on the way

First thing to check is if the inner primary bearing race walked into the trans main seal.
