The connectors on the oil lines and the reinstallation of the oil lines to the correct outlet are critical. You need to make sure that you have the orings and spacers on properly before you re-connect the oil lines. You need to be careful taking the oil lines apart. There are also electrical connections to be dealt with. Best to review a shop manual. Your model may also differ from earlier soft tails which is what I am referring to.

I don't know anything about the Road Customs...
