    I forgot to say that I have not a single leak either. I am going to wait with the fork tubes until after Hot Riders and my ride with Red Rider. Then onto those. :D

    The primary cover is suppossed to leak, isn't it?
    My shovelhead primary's do and I'm proud of it~! I like parking my bike on people's personal driveways so they know I was there. Especially at my friend Tom's house because has the nice purty brick pavers in his driveway. :roflmao:

    I just thought that I would say that my bike is running completely awesome. I have no leaks of any kind.

    Thanks to all for their suggestions.....

    Use James Gaskets on the old shovel heads.
    you don't need silicone.
    Even JPcycles sells James gaskets.
