Well here we are, day three of testing, tuning and riding. I think I'm finally wearing Mark ($tonecold) out with changing cams and being a test pilot. We should wrap up all the testing today and tomorrow Mark gets to take his 11 hour drive back home. He will be reporting the results once he gets home and a little time to get caught up.
Well slap my rump and call me Ricky! This should be interesting for sure. Lots of people have been watching this.
Do you think that condensation is of any concern? I know it will flash off as the bike reaches operation temp, but I guess it looks like more than I would have expected. Of course I'm not all that bright, soooooo. Maybe it's from all that SoCal rain lately, lol......
Sounds like you think it’s 💦, but it oil that has vaporized in the primary and condensed in the actuator pocket. It is needed for lubrication. If it accumulates to the point it’s over the mainshaft it should drain back to the primary.

I DID think it was 💦...... It sure looked like it to me from up here at my house, lol. That's why I included the "Not very bright" comment as a disclaimer!
For those of us who don't know what exactly was done, can you post a picture of that area before you installed your fix? I have no frame of reference regarding what was installed.
From your original post, I'm guessing that's OEM?
And this is the fix?
From my perspective I can't tell what exactly was installed.
Great work btw, God knows HD wouldn't have stepped up to the plate on this one.

Those pictures show the transmission with the machined nut installed and then the seal and side cover installed. Here’s a picture showing the stock side cover and the side cover with the seal.
I apparently haven’t taken any photos showing the whole transmission with the seal installed. I might be doing this to my ‘15 RG soon, if so I will get pictures from that perspective.
I'm not convinced that the MoCo even employees actual engineers. Judging by some of the crap they've produced over the last 100+ years, it seems like somebody just draws something that looks "good enough" and they go from there.
As for fixing the current crop of design defects in their bikes, once they find a way to do it for less than a buck per bike, they'll be on the case like stink on - well, you know!
Once again......Johnny one note...... bitch bitch bitch, nothing constructive to add to the forum. Over 4,000 post of the same crap over and over again.
This is what turns off new owners who search these forums looking for useful info, instead they have to wade through s**t like this.

Look at the bright side we are keeping him from spreading his cheer on another forum.
