FXD 1995 Inner Primary Info needed
Greetings from New Zealand.
My 1995 FXD came with forwards fitted which were promptly taken off & replaced with mids. as the last good owner had left the inner gear lever in place.
I aquired highway peg mounts to bring it back to stock and all is well.
My question is this : inner primaries for this year/model are not thick on the ground. If I can avoid it Id rather not drill the inner hole for the gear lever on a FXDWG etc.
Apart from metal fatigue, throwing a chain....what is the main causes of these breaking?
Next: should the worst happen, where would you go to buy one, bear in mind where I live.....these bikes are scarce down here and most years I am one of the only Evo riders I meet on the road _yeah, that sounds wierd!)
Best wishes to you all.

60681-94a is the mid control inner primary and should be stock on your bike.
However, it is the outer primary that got beefed up in strength right around your year.
Look at your outer primary (need to remove to check), if it had lots of ribs or webbing cast in to the inside of the outer cover, then you have the strong one. It ads rigidity and strength to the inner primary when bolted on.

Fair call, it was an early start for a Sunday. I want to know the reasons these things give out and where to go buy one as Im not finding any for sale. Cheers

Did you break an inner primary and thats why your asking? Are you running high torque or HP?
The next option would be a Harley race brace or the carlini torque arm on the used market. Same with the inner primary, used market like fleabay.

The inner case can with stand about 70hp before failure becomes a possibility. Stay below this threshold and you can ride without worry.
As Yankee Dog mentioned above, a Carliini Torque Arm can increase the strength of the cast case. These make the case strong enough for 95+ HP.
If/when they fail, they "fold down" spectacularly.
