17 street glide fork oil leak
so last weekend while cleaning the bike, I noticed some fluid that looked like it had splashed onto my primary. I figured something just got on the bike, and I cleaned it off.
Tonight I went for a ride, and notice the same thing again. I started tracing the fluid back, and foun it splashed on my highway bars too. I ended up tracing the fluid back to the left fork. It appears I have a bad fork seal.
So here is my question for anyone who had a fork seal fail while your bike was under warranty.....
Did your dealer cover it under warranty?... or did they claim that it is a wear item and stick you with the bill?

That’s right. Just thought my left fork tube was leaking last week. The oil from the grease actually got inside the fork can and ran down onto lower left fork leg. Just a little but hell I didn’t want to pull everything apart. Traced it right to the lower neck bearing grease and seeping through some small open spots on top of can. Had a cold beer on that one and celebrated !!
