Nice write up Duane.   No one even posted between your pictures.   

The only downside for me (I change oil on the jiffy stand) is that the Baker drain is on the high side of the pan.
The aftermarket makes about everything better than HD..

Good point Bob.


I use my jack with a drain pan, so it wouldn't matter for me, but others may want to consider that.






Something else to consider if this might be in your future.

You have to remove the swing arm to do it - so you might as well replace the wear-ables in the swing arm then

Duane, Yet another great pictorial from you, Thanks!

[FiveO CVO]

Duane,
Ditto on Boatman's comment.     Great information for considering.  Now that I think of it, no one mentioned the fact that the less that oil gets routed through all the different peices, the less vescosity breakdown as well (more oil to spread the wealth of work).  Granted I use the SE Synthetic.  Thanks for replying to the post.  Especially with all the pic's.  Take it easy.  It's great when someone shows/tells you in laymens terms.

Duane-

Thanks for all the detail,  I learned a lot from your post. I had been considering this +1 option on my FLHX , but ended up selling  the bike.

Thanks for a informative thread, I wish Baker offerd one to fit 09, they have not even started working on one.    By the time they do, I will not purchase, if I can wait for a year, I can wait forever.

Duane, Nice write up. You really broke it down. I like your oil drain set up. DID you come up with that ?

The oil drain pan - no, that is an available item from J&S jacks.

What is that red stuff?

Henry-

That's good ole RL Shockproof.   Bob

What is that red stuff?

As Bob said, and this is how it looks on the gears after the bike sat for about 4 months.

Next question:  What causes it to look like red paint?  Is there a particulate content?

I remember closely examining the pictures of your transmission during the transmission housing mishap, and wondering about what it is that makes that stuff look like that.  When I think about red oil, I'm thinking about Bel-Ray's clear red color.  I've never seen opaque gear oil like that, which is why I'm asking if there is a particulate substrate within.

Just curious.  Thanks.
