I hope your keeper of the shillings is less diligent than mine.  Mine doesn't seem to think my bullchit well reasoned arguments are terribly compelling.

She's pretty tough.  I don't think this one is going to go over too easy though.  We just got back from a 109 mile jaunt for a burger.  Wetness is unremarkable.

[REGGAB]

I took that picture without wiping it down about 30 minutes after we got home this afternoon....................just long enough for my stock, powdercoated, non-heat retaining inner primary to cool enough for me to take a close look.   

Here's our 109 mile route.  Hot as hell today.  Bike ran awesome............just awesome.  I'm not gonna worry about it too much.  As I said before, I'll keep an eye on it, and once it becomes unmanageable, I'll take it to Rod's Performance for the works.

[REGGAB]

I don't believe that for one minuete. The primary doesn't get THAT hot anyway.

Hoist!

Mine does...........I can't hold my fingers on it immediately after shutdown.  To me...........and in my own personal opinion..............that is        "THAT hot."

[REGGAB]

I'm probably one of the ones that has a lot of chrome on their bike and I've never had any problems w/it getting to hot.

Gary...........I don't know how long you've had that chrome inner, and it obviously isn't a challenge for you.............and that is a good thing for you, since you love chrome so much.  Proud for ya, D00d!  Rock on!  I, on the other hand, happen to love contrast, and am a FIRM believer that too much chrome is......in my own personal opinion........dare I say...........TACKY!  Besides the tackiness, I'm not gonna introduce what might be another problem for which I have neither the patience, time, or money to expend. 

I will, however, speculate that if you run 50 miles at 80mph in 90+ degree temps with me down US 72, pull over, drink a beer, then shoot both our primaries with an IR thermometer, mine will be cooler............which means powdercoat dissipates heat better than chrome.  Again, my own personal opinion.

News flash for a new feature on the 2010 models:

"Included now a non stick coating on top of your inner primary"

Works great for camping...............

Alrighty Then!  Fortunately, I got all that "camping" bullchit out of my system during a 22 year stint in the Army.

It's all good, that's why there are so many parts available to customize these bikes not every part is for everybody. In regards to checking the temp of the primary..... not really necessary..... riding and drinking beer is way more important.

I think you've found one thing about which we both agree.

I would say that about 70 - 80% of these leak from the shift shaft seal. Get the Cometic Double lip seal and don't look back.......

Jim,

Do you have the #'s for both of those seals???Thanks Greg

The shift shaft double lip seal is Cometic # OS041 for a single part, or C9259 for a 5 pack.  If you call or email them they will let you know what part numbers you need for a specific application.

Sheiiit!  My turn for this at 21,500 miles on the SEEG.  Noticed a spot of gear lube on the floor after getting home from work on it yesterday.  Thanks for the Cometic part numbers.

Can't remember if you have the Chrome Inner, but this could/would be the time to get one.

I hear they trap a lot of heat.
