Morning Update Part II;
I forgot to mention; A year or so ago, (after giving initial feedback) Alto had sent me a new Set of their Carbonite Plates to try (in case there was an issue with the first Kit that they had sent me)...

Morning Update Part III;
Since the Primary had to come off to repair the Leak in the DD7, I figured that we would give the 2nd set of Alto Carbonite Plates try... Oasis used the Factory Recommended Amounts of Redline V-Twin Primary Case Oil instead of the Formula+...
After almost 3k miles on the new Alto Plate Kit,,, The Original Alto Carbonite Plate Kit was fine after >12k, the Plates still looked brand new, will hand them off to my Skunk Bud (S&S 124HC/DD7) for further evaluation,,, The Redline seems to have made a slight difference in reducing the "Hydraulic Stiction" going into 1st Gear,,, While at BikeWeek, I paid particular attention to the other Bikes (Stock to Highly Modified) around me,,, going into 1st and the shifting of the DD7 is as smooth & quiet as any,,, Much Quieter than most... Even though it co$t$ a few $ more, I will continue to use the Redline V-Twin Primary Case Oil, keep an ear on the Latest SE Compensator / Cast in Oil Deflector and report back,,, Only miles will tell...
DD7; The MainShaft Output Seal Leaked at around 14k miles, The Quad Seal Leaked at around 32k (2 days before the last trip to Oasis Cycles), 'Thinking that something might be amiss in the DD7,,, possible (Harley) MDG going out
,,, Even though the Redline ShockProof always looks / smells new, never any debris on the drain plug,,, I asked Oasis (Oasis is Baker's #1 Outlet for years now) to take a good look?? "We checked everything, and couldn't find anything that would cause the Seals to go out (prematurely)..." Since my DD7 shipped with all the "Updated Harley Seals" and IMHO, Harley Sealing Technology is pretty much state of the art these days ('had to overcome the baking sheets under the new Shovels in the showrooms of the AMF days LOL) I guess that I'm just "Lucky"
The 5700 miles (Reply # 308) on the Cylinders, Pistons, Compensator "refresh" included around 2500 miles to/from/around BikeWeek, trying to keep Unbalanced, His Lovely "Wifey", Sneaky Pete, and John Sachs in sight...
It's always a Treasure to hook up and Ride with those Folks!!
(Hillary Rodham Hubbard was a No-Show this year,,, 'Guess he was afraid of more incriminating / compromising photos being "Leaked" 
) I checked the Oil after every day and happy to report
The Blow-by and Oil usage issue seems to have corrected itself,,, I believe that the Bike is using more Oil by me wiping off the Dipstick so often than the Nicasils are using... Add about another 700 miles of "Thumping the Pines" (including playing with the roll-on from 100 to the Pin for several miles
) and the Dipstick is down the width of 2 lines,,, not "Xs",,, the lines that "box-in" the "Xs" maybe 1/4 of an "X"... I can live with that
'Noted that when "Playing with the Roll-on" the Dakota Digital Oil Temp & Pressure Gauges were a stable 230* / 41PSI respectively...
'Also Noted that the Florida HBRR Chapter is BY FAR, THE FASTEST CHAPTER,,,
