GOT THAT DREADED OIL LEAK
« on: May 01, 2018, 08:11:45 AM »
Well, after all this time my C14 decided to leak oil.  After a close inspection I see that the oil is coming from the valve cover.  I have been wanting to do the dual exhaust mod, I guess I can get two birds with 1 stone.


My old HD didn't leak a drop of oil....   :-[

My old KZ1000 leaked more oil than any of our HD Low rider police bikes ever did.  And those bikes were recalled for bad engine cases that leaked oil!

So far, so good with my ‘09 with 48k miles...

HD hired Porsche and spent over $20 million to fix their 'Spindletop' leaker of an engine back in the early 80's. Us boomers were not gonna buy Harleys made by a bowling alley company unless they could run all day and not crap out. Best money that HD ever spent and it saved their bacon.
