My 75 XL has a brass bushing inside the cam gear cover that supports the shifter shaft and its worn out. I cannot locate one. Anyone familiar with this part and know where I might find one? Thanks in advance. Russ

Went through motor, new top end,wire harness,wheel bearings,many other things. Problem breather puking lots of oil. For 2 weeks took off oil pump many times new springs balls, lapped in ball seating surface, gaskets, measurment double checked everything. I knew the breather gear was in right, but finally decided to remove the nose cone. I hoped the gears were off there marks. They were right on. I looked at the new gasket and there it was, the problem. The part of the gasket that seperated the lower back of motor from the cam gear side was missing. Wrong gasket. I went through hell for 2weeks. Now body could put there finger on the problem. 1 1/2 longx.060thick caused so much trouble and the mess. You should see the garage floor. ALWAYS CHECK THE GASKETS. This is for everybody, hope it...

I need to remove the torx bolts that are holding the saddle bag rail, rear "bumper" on my 04 EGlide Standard. I tried the T27, didn't fit.... called the HD shop and they thought T40....I am just trying to confirm that this is the size before I buy one. (I have a service manual on order, but they have not called to tell me it is in yet....) Thanks!
