The actual centrificial force is in a circle but away from opening. The amount of oil I reported in the cam galley is what I see normally.

Maybe the TCb is designed for more splash for the balance system. Been reported on here many time of about 20 oz in a TCb. However, that sumping procedure for late model in no more the 3-5 oz.

When you open the case on softail after it's had a chance to cool down, oil has flowed through the pump and into the cam case from the oil tank since the oil tank is mounted above oil pump/cam case. Dyna and baggers won't have this problem since the tanks are mounted slightly below the oil pump.

My bike use to never sit. Now I seldom ride and spend the winter down south. It set from October till April . The oil was at add.. Once started, it returned to about 1/4 down from mark.

I have two riding buddies . Probably make one trip using the Jamestown ferry to Surrey,VA to eat pulled pork barbeque, Dr Brown cherry soda and vinegar chips.

The other with my other friend is to Williamsburg where his favorite is New York Phillie cheese steak and pie from the pie factory.

It's all about food now...
