No thanks.

I believe you do have that backwards ..according to this thread and a friend with a CVO Limited that had the same issue it appears to be a Twin-Cooled problem they have a smaller oil pump than the air/oil cooled models.

Who knew? I just clicked on a thread that looked interesting....I never even looked to see what forum it was in.

No worries. I am sure lots of folks have no interest. Just got back from a fall color ride. The worst part was having to pull this machine into the garage. This is my third Harley and by far the best of them all. Even with $1,000's put into the others. I even considered buying a Victory. But this bike matches (or even beats) them.

I'm tired of spending $$$$$$ on stuff you can't get anything out of even if you part it out on trade-in.

Maybe I'm just getting old!
