07 RKC primary gasket?
I'm right in the middle of changing primary fluid. The gsk they gave me is a full circle paper cardboard type instead of orange silicone o-ring...is this a replacement or wrong gsk? I can't imagine they want that in addition to the o-ring. At this point I'm thinking take the o-ring off and use new gsk. Any ideas? Also, is there a refernce point as to level? I know it says 38oz but it would be nice to see where it's supposed to be.Thanks

1.big full cirlce cardboard like thing is an update..face as indicated on circle..no do not need the other huge o-ring..
2. you did not state which bike? evo twin cam? evo is 32 ounces do not have book for twin cam.i guess that if you read 38 you must have twin cam?
3. bike should be level when filling
4. quantity written is normally dead-on

learn from my mistake.
the oil pan and transmission pan are aluminum. the plug is very hard metal..
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the drain plugs THEY WILL STRIP. then you will need to buy an oversize magnetic plug at auto part store.
if you do not have torque wrench use hand tight and a maybe a very small wrench for nudge..if concerned small amount of lock tight blue .
the side covers are harder to strip but be carefull this could happen also .

Primary: With derby cover off and bike upright and level, fill to the bottom of the clutch diaphragm spring. This will be 38-44 oz.
