Which HD had a 5 speed tranny AND water anywhere near the engine at the same time? Or how did the water get into that 5 speed to begin with?

This guy is a builder 3 miles from me who has had some nice work showcased. My guess is after the occ craze started to fade the shop started doing regular work to stay afloat. Have met him at a few local bike events and always seemed to be just someone trying to do a good job and offering up another indy shop in the area.

Have a bit of a different opinion now. At least not make social media posts trying to drum up business like this.

I'm not sure what your guy or the one in the original post expected to see on parts soaked in a very clingy lube that just happens to be dyed red.  If the lube had been dyed purple you would have seen purple gears.  Fortunately the lube wasn't dyed a rust color.

That's exactly what they look like when Red Line Shockproof is used.  Nothing wrong with it.  RLS is very sticky, by design.

Probably voided the warranty.  Because red is the fastest gear lube.

Looks like that would be good to use to wash down a Tide pod.

Nothing better than a shockproof ale with a good head on it.   :drink:

That shows that the Shockproof is more dense than the other.

Just wondering:  Is that what it looks like with actual mixing and then letting it settle out, or have the two just been poured into the jug without any mixing?

The motor oil, primary oil, and transmission oil were drained more or less simultaneously into a common drain pan and then poured into the jug (basically a uniform homogeneous mixture at that point).  This is how it looked a week or so later.
