With all the negative and whiner posts just wanted to thank you Stone Cold for taking the time on the "FIX" series. Now servicing 5 of these m8s and my personal. Mine never really tranfered all that much and to be honest i dont check oils much. But we had one that was doing a lot more than others. Now all 6 i have milled the covers. None have had anything else other than the AIM Clutch release piston done. 6 bikes with 22k 34k 36k 76k 78k 90k none have ever tranfered again. So again thank you for doing the work. 2 of these bikes even had a fat rod i guess they call it and still transfered... these guys wont go too dealers so non have vented primarys other than my halfazzed test with starter bolt thats now removed.
thank you again.... and this is not a debate.....just a thank you. Cam series also helped a bunch

You have 3 M8's with 76k 78k 90k miles on them? What work have they need? All stock engines?
I had $tone's fix in my '18 Ultra and it fixed it from transferring as well.
I was (slowly) putting my '18 back to stock (removing $tone's kit) for
trading when I thought I'd try an AIM slave cylinder to see how easy it
was on my broken hand.
Not only was the clutch EXTREMELY light;
it also cured the Trans oil transfer. (I assumed it would start again without $tone's
Trans Oil Transfer fix)
I have ridden the bike 1500 miles on the AIM cylinder and the Trans oil level
is right where it should be (where I set it; HD of Asheville))
The Harley vent is all you need to fix the transfer.
That has been proven not to be a 100% fix. (Based on threads in this very forum and I have personally seen a bike that it did not completely solve the issue.)

Pretty sure you got lucky....i had the AIM cyl in mine it didnt change the little bit i had tranfering .....but had the AIM go bad and while i was changing it i did cut my cover....went to no transfer what so ever. ( AIM By the way was great to deal with) Its been 12 k and i havent changed trans fluid on purpose to see if it ever did. The funny thing is my twink transfered more than my m8. But never cared as i mostly changed all 3 holes ever4-5 months or 7500-8000.
but thats my last word as i dont want too get the warranty crowd hog groups panties in a wad..... thank you again for the RD Stone Cold

You're welcome! I'm glad to see that relieving the side cover worked so well for you and your friends. I believe a relieved side cover with the vent would be an absolute fix, as good as "The Fix", and it's hard to beat a seal when it comes to controlling oil.
