RE: Primary fluid quantity
Simple question...don't need smarta$$ replies.
Manual says "approximately 32 oz" and also shows, while bike is LEVEL, fluid onto the spring. Two indicators of proper fluid level. Just trying to get a feel for what other folks are finding to be "approximate".

I thnk where some of the confusing info comes from is the fact that the touring models have a larger capacity primary than the other bikes. You'll have guys who own softtails telling you that 32 oz. is too much which is correct for a S/T or a Dyna. Don't let them confuse you.

RE: Primary fluid quantity
For a pre-'07, just dump a quart, aka approximately 32 oz, and go. You will be fine. The amount isn't all that critical. The primary is nothing but an oil bath. As long as there is enough oil in there to get slung around, you are good to go.
