When were these fitted again? I understand that the 06 models did not have dowel pins fitted betwenn the IP case and and the tranny case. I also understand that they have been refitted to the 08 models.

This appears to be imlicated in some way \\;with the early \\;IPB failures. My 07 Dyna service manual clearly \\;shows two dowel pins between the cases. Never had my 07 FXDB apart yet - so when were the dowel pins refitted: 08 only, 07 as well, or part way through the 07 run?
 \\;
Advice appreciated form thjose who have been into the primaries on the 07 bikes. Dowel pins would appear to assure proper alignment and reduced risk of IPB failure.....

Thank you

I can't believe that no 07 owners on the Forum have been into the primary case yet!
Dowels between the inner case and tranny or no dowels?
If I were a wealthy man I'd offer a financial incentive. However, I'm not and you'll have to settle for the warm glow in knowing that you've put, at least my and Oilslick's mind at ease!
