Had to print that in caps huh  ...

Yep, you got it; Fork oil is next for the fluid changes.......................I'll be calling ya....Oh yea....you can count on that...See BOLD highlight in your above quote   

Thanks again man for all your help...Send The "Z" Man my Regards

Oh...BTW... Did ya know when you replace the O-ring gasket PN: 25416-99 for the primary/clutch cover, HD is now selling you PN: 25416-99C in it's place. As 99 is really just one big rubber O-ring; 99-C is a one piece paper type gasket the entire size of the primary/clutch cover with 5 holes in the gasket which line up with the bolt holes. the inner side of the gasket has a protruded ring of some type of gasket material which fits and lines up inside the original O-ring groove...The only reason I know is I originally put the original O-ring back in after changing the fluid but noticed it leaking at 6:00 the next day. So I pull the cover back off and sure enough I had jammed the O-ring up at the bottom when putting it back in and it was leaking slightly (like a slow oooze). So anyway I put this new gasket on and WAAALAH...Good ta go.

You're Welcome, and the Compliments on your bike are DESERVED !  she's a dayum good looking ride !!!    can I borrow her ..... 

Glad the Simple Green worked for you ... it works on mine.  It's a bit time consuming, but it cleans it up REAL GOOD !!!!

Here's another tip for you .... and if you want I can find you a weblink and partnumber

I ride bicycle a lot, well, not so much in the last year, but in 2007 I rode just short of 2,000 miles on my bicycle.  I LOVE anything on two wheels !!!!!!

SO, here's the tip.  On the bicycles, the chain cassette in the rear is VERY VERY TIGHT, the gears are so close together that in order to CLEAN it you have to have a 'SPECIAL' brush.   It's curved to fit the gears, but for the motorcycle engine, here's the good part.  The bristles are LONG and STIFF, much more so than a toothbrush.  Since the bristles are long, they get into and in between the fins on the motorcycle engine .... makes cleaning it EASIER, BETTER, and just a bit FASTER than the toothbrush .....

Let me know if you want me to get info on it for you..........

It won't be long before Tim hits the keys; he usually starts tappin em around midnight or so..Ya ever notice that? Wht's the man doin; does he ride all day and write all night   

Now Howie on the other hand; He don't worry about folks like us; he can get on here and be done passed us in posts in about 3 seconds. I ain't never seen a man that could type as fast or faster than he talks  ...I'l bet he talks to himself when he's typing all his stuff in; bet he don't have any fingerprints either
