I feel your pain!! I've had my '08 Fatboy since last year and didn't solve the "neutral" problem till last month. Did everything all the responses recommended, but I didn't find neutral till I put different fluid in my tranny and primary. Was using Syn3 in all three holes, but switched to Spectro GL5 for the tranny and Spectro Primary for the chaincase. Forum threads and surveys on oils and lubes educated me on what works for a 96 engine with 6-speed and numerous replies stated their neutral problems were solved with Spectro, Amsoil, and other better fluids. Shifting is smoother, tranny is quieter, and neutral is easy to find. Just my two cents -- good luck!
