2008 Road King Starter problems
I replaced my starter with an Arrowhead starter (made in China). I am now seeing oil spots on my garage floor but can't see where the leak is comong from. Any info would be helpful.
Thanks

Yes...I even checked the oring size before I installed it. It matched the origional one. That's the only place I can think where it would leak. Thanks for the respose...

starter removal
I may have to remove my starter soon on an 08 roadking. Does it just unbolt from the two bolts on starter assy or does the 08 have a jacking bolt requiring the primary cover to be removed too for access?
I know I'm still waiting for my service manual to arrive...
Thanks

Mine was an'07 (RK), wouldn't think the '08 has one. Just the two bolts..
Good luck...and those damn things are expensive...abt 420 bucks...for a starter??? damn. Even the rebuild kit was around 200 (or 100, can't remember).
I still have my core, I guess one day I'll rebuild it to have an extra. I think it'll fit on a '13, which I have now (EGClassic) w/103.

Two bolts hold the starter to the rear of the primary. Different from prior years where the jackshaft had to be taken off from within the primary.
