The vent is drilled on the top backside of the primary and has a black rubber tube attached similar to the transmission side. I've seen pictures as I haven't picked the bike up yet. But it seems to be fairly well hidden. Apparently it goes into an area that is kind of naturally baffled inside so there shouldn't be any risk of fluid escaping. That better be the case! I'm tired of dealing with this.

A friend of mine had that issue with 18 Limited Moco told the tech to replace some seal and few weeks later problem still existed and last week Moco told the tech to vent the primary by drilling into inner primary and installing l fittings and vent hose, Seems like Moco trying different fixes to solve this problem.

I must be getting old. I had to go back and read the posts before I got it! HA! HA! Yes a little humor is always a good thing.

$tone, Is the three piece fix you refer to, available through boardtrackerharley.com, the same as your fix? Are there any other retailers? How do I PM ?

Thank You
