Default Another 06 problem

I had the bike up on the lift this morning, Installing a set of Rivco air horns and WHAT!!! OIL dripping from bottom of bike. Seams it developed a leak around the shifter shaft behind the primary case. There is Redline shockproof all over the bottom of bike. I checked the level and it,s low. I have jokenly said that Harley used every junk part they had to build this bike. 04/06 Now I,m beginning to believe it. What an advertisement for them. I,ll be glad when the 08 get here, Dan

I've had my 06since October of 05 and haven't had any problems. Of course I rarely go 6 months without modding the engine.

They do have a new seal and a warranty to cover it. Have replaced several. I can say it is not the seal. The ones we replace never leak again. It must be something with the installation when assembling. Have corrected since, very few 07's leak. If they used every piece of junk to build, I think you have other problems other than a seal leak.

06, let the warranty handle it.

By the way, how do you like the air horns, my stock horn doesn't blow half the time.

Hack
That's one that makes you seriously question the engineers at HD. The metal horn cover causes electrical interference which makes the horn not work properly. An easy fix is to put some black tape around the horn cover bracket where the horn nuttouches it. It can't be seen and it breaks the metal on metal connection.
