Any HD tech with transmission knowledge?

I stand corrected...
My old '99 seemed to be all steel. And the baker dd6 had hardened chrome finish on the forks, if I'm not mistaken. Gotta update myself sometimes!
I read most of your thread, interesting stuff!

6 speed Limited 2014.
The brass on the forks you're showing look very thin. It's a soft metal probably to protect the other harder sliding part.
I think the most important is not to have brass gears or bushings.

Like I said, I wouldnt worry about it. Been using a GL-5 for years and I dont think it caused the flaking on mine. Having 128k on the tranny had more to do with it. Not sure what a HD tech would have to say though.

Weird vibrations in the engine were actualy every bearing being worn out in the tranny. Shoulda done it at 100k. It was pretty cheep to re build and easy.

Nope there won't be , think about it the old 4 speeds used several big brass bushing and regular gear oil for how many decades ?
