This is the first I've heard about valve seal problems. I have an '05 Fatboy and would like to hear about this issue so post up and let us know.

I had an '05 that used about a quart in 1000 miles. I call HD customer service issued a complaint and my bike was out of warranty at the time. They had me contact a dealer of my choice and the had to run through the protocal. However mid stream I traded the bike for an '08 and never finished completed what started. My bike had about 12000 on it.
