RE: Stupid primary question
I just installed the Corbin EZ-fill. Looks awesome. Initial impressions: the cap is really tight, which is a good thing. Tight to the point that the bike rocked too much while on the lift, so I sit on the bike to remove it. I found that you still have to be careful pouring - it takes a bit of time.
I too had all the aforementioned complaints, and now this setup rocks. Long delivery time, though - anticipate a few weeks.

PS - it comes with a new gasket, so you don't have to buy a replacement.

RE: Stupid primary question
Sorry, I should of clarified my original post a bit. I was referring to the '08 dynas. No need to open up the primary on them other than to fill. That being the case I see no reason why not to have a fill hole. HD rush maybe? I think I will drill and tap one, i'll let you know what comes of it.

RE: Stupid primary question
I dont see any resean for a fill hole so theres 5 screws to pull off the clutch cover.not only that I personally dont like the looks of it that corbin shows.To fill on a 06 or later it is easy if you got a funnell that fits in between the cover where its notched out.

i use the same gasket untill it starts to leak. when it leaks i change it. go to a hardware store and get some stainless allens fo ALOT less than $2 each.

I agree with reusing the gasket. have used the same one on multiple oil changes with no leaks. rather than get stainless bolts, which notoriously are brittle and known to easily break or bugger up the threads (plus stainless bolts are super hard and pretty much impossible to drill out), just go to Ace Hardware and buy some chrome allen head bolts and washers. makes removing the cover a breeze.

RE: Stupid primary question
The reason I think a fill hole would be a great idea is beacause so many people have already complained about the primary hole cover screws stripping for one, the waste of time and a gasket for another and the fact that the clutch is an auto-adjust so no need to go into there other than to change the fluid. Maybe it's just me but I don't keep spare screws on hand and would rather not give the stealers anything more than absolutely necessary. BTW, there is no notch on my cover.....not sure what you speak of there.
