The funnel would be better if oil doesn't run between the it and the engine case. I'll try one someday. I knock a hole in the filter with a screwdriver, open the oil tank and come back 30 minutes later. There's just enough oil left between the filter and engine to make a mess, so I still have to put a few rags under it.

Got the Jiffy Stand Spring. It was less than $8 so I got a new Shift Linkage for $150 to make me feel ripped off. LOL 😂

The Harley Orange Oil filter funnel is the best idea that doesn't work. The tube keeps falling off and the funnel does not prevent the mess when you separate the oil filter from the engine. I do, or rather I did the same as you. I poke a hole in the bottom of oil filter, open the oil dip stick to let it flow. This time was when I was installing the oil filter relocation mod. I also used my Mighty Vac to slurp out the oil from the hole created by the screw driver. Ironically I did not make a mess that time. Hmmm... Last hurrah before the Filter relocation kit?

Yep, I have almost same HD shifting linkage, with chrome starting to peel from 2020, on a super clean garage kept bike.
Guessing EPA has killed what used to he GREAT HD chrome. My 91 Springer still has all perfect HD chrome. Then I had a 2002 twincam that started losing its chrome in 1st 5 years.....
Please be gentle and keep it coated!
By the way, that color on your bike is about the best out there!👍
Ride Safe✌️

You put gear oil in the primary?

Yes. It’s not uncommon. What is the perceived issue?

did my Zippers Redshift 468 cam and S&S Sidewinder 2-1, started at about 10am, finished up and got a test rip in by about 630, and it rips!! I gonna see how it does over a few tanks with the Fuel Moto map before I decide if I'm doing a dyno tune. That's with about a 1.5hr lunch break, and picking up a set of FM push rods my nephew didn't use for his cam install last year, so he gave them to me. Install went smooth, no issues, but there was a suprise for me, that kinda threw me for a loop and scared me into thinking I messed up. So I removed the stock cam bearing, installed the new Koyo bearing, that went smoothly, when I was breaking down the bearing tool, I noticed the bearing I removed was a Koyo bearing!!!!!


This discovery had me sitting there second myself if I re-installed the stock bearing, but I definitely installed the new Koyo bearing, as the old bearing was on the tool from where I removed it, it had witness marks on it, showing that it was installed. Did Harely start installing the better bearing???? I bought this bike brand new last May, so I haven't modified it...this is odd

I tried attaching a video, says it too large
