Rocker box leak on 2008 thunderbolt

    A customer brought in this bike & after taking off the air box, Am I in for an extended amount of swearing, and have to drop the engine? is there an alternative? Other wise the customer isn't flush enough for this adventure.

how bad it leak?
lol
without checking manual I thinking rotate motor to do bout anything.
mine hasn't been "down" yet so no tricks from here.
\if need be let me know and I will pull up manual and check..

my 03 manual says rotate for anything.
a google site showed a guy doing it  on a later year and he also rotated.
my bet is  well,
no fact on 08 but looking bad

I know its cheating. have done it to personal bikes.
would not do it to customer unless I knew him and told him exactly what I was band aiding.
if barely seeps in a  area. just seal area from outside. use something undoable for when rocker does need to dome off.

  I zipped it up & sent him on his way until he's ready to bite the bullet. Its making more of a mess than anything, but it is a pretty nice bike, and it's to bad that Eric couldn't plan for some simple foreseeable repairs.
