RE: scavenging oil
I used the rogue chopper kit on my old night train with great success. Amazing how much dirty oil is in those lines and passages. I wish I could figure out a way to do this on my 06 dyna.

RE: scavenging oil
TC, With no external oil lines to put the quick connect on, how can this work on the 06 Dyna 88's? Did I miss something?
Tipping the bike on its side and bumping the starter 'aint cutting it. Gotta get a scavenging kit solution if one is available.
I do have an e-mail into Rogue from earlier in the week. No response (very unlike them) so I might call them tommorrow for the scoop.

RE: scavenging oil
Sorry, an 06 has the internal oil lines, brain fart here
Any way I have been thinking about this situation with the earlier bikes and instead of using the kit, do as Dave suggests with the filter thing, only leave the dirty filter on and drop the old oil. Refill the tank with fresh oil, start the bike just for a sec or two, long enough to push the new oil up to the old filter. Shut it down, change the filter and the rest of the oil can be drained out now from the return line on softails real easily because the new oil will fill the new filter and push out the old oil left in the return lines then. The other bikes would be a bit more work. It's all in the timing here

I'm not going to throw the filter away. I'm going to leave it on!!!
Don't forget--the oil flows from the tank to the pump. From the pump to the filter. Then on through the engine (the rest is not necessary for this explanation). So, the only "contaminated" oil is whatever is in the 3/8" hardline between the tank, (the pump), and the filter. Can't be any more than an ounce at the most. I would rather do that because there is no way that little amount of oil is going to contaminate my filer, than put on this puck that has no filtration at all. Because that same dirty ounce of oil is now going to go directly to my main bearings without the benefit of having been through the filter. To me, that is worse.
I'm not knocking the product at all. Anything that gets a guy to change ALL of his/her oil is a good thing. My only argument is that it can be done cheaper and better the way I do it.

Thanks for the explanation. Always nice to learn something.
