Either way, this will be good for you, in end, you will learn a lot. First tear down of harley for me was big bore, just cause I wanted to do what most don't. A man needs ego and tremendous sex drive, brains don't mean ****.
Knowing how to read wear marks, is the next level and comes with experience.

Repeating ourselves back and forth on harley vs cometic seals, seems silly. Does he go into the dealership threads and say he uses harley?

If you want to discuss the topic feel free, not sure what else there is to say other than quoting past posts on which seals to use.

Ya he enjoys being a _____ and talking in circles, asking dumb questions. But I don't get why. Enough in this thread we could talk about motorcycles.

I should stop reading his posts. They make my head hurt.. All I get out of this is that he hates HD seals because they send out a notice saying use existing inventory.. I guess cometic never updates their seals. I wouldn't be surprised if they do, they don't until the inventory is all used up. In that case what does the shop do with outdated seal? Toss it out? Bet they don't get a bulletin.

And those seals leaked on my bike, but not my 2007 which had the double leap seals. And not the first bike, after I went with cometic.

NOTE
Use all existing inventory of 12052 seals before using the
new 12052A seal.

hell, Rounders, if I had the money, this bike would be at the indi now.
I'd have them fix it and bump up to 96 cubes
and my ego wouldn't be bruised a bit, I can assure you
filter is draining and cooling off now.
Plan to pull primary cover and have a look see tomorrow
