since pictures, I have removed the sissybar, and got real chrome struts to replace my home made ones, but these are the most current I have.

I tried fixing the leak. I put a new gasket on the primary pan and used gasket sealer on both sides of the gasket....but she still leaks. It isn't a very fast drip. Does anyone know if these chrome primary covers are more problematic? Should I replace it with something else? I actually thought about locating a little oil catch bowl somewhere on the bike so when I park, I don't leave my mark on my friends fancy concrete drive ways...almost like a kickstand plate...but a mini bowl..

Looks good...

For leaks like this I use a Red scotch-Brite pad to scuff the chrome gasket surface & motor side as well.. Not thru the chrome, but just take off the shine/sllippery surface.
This gives the gasket something to seal better to.. Least I've had good luck doing this..

Nice job. You can call me a wuss if you want, but I was born and raised in Texas. I don't know how you guys ride in 0 degree weather. I have to admit that riding in 105 degree weather feels like a hair dryer in your face. I guess you get use to whatever you have to.
