I see the H-D dealer just about everyday as I drive by and have to say I never thought I would say these words but they do not have one damn thing I want. Other than the name I do not recognize what they have become at all. What a shame.  :beer: :cry:

Probably caused by an aftermarket slip on.

Believe it or not I was told by a HD Employee that NON HD Maps were causing Sumping

I would have thought all of the additional lube that migrated from the transmission would have helped it.     :emsad:

Anything to blame someone else on their major design flaw! That must be why there is a new pump and an updated loss of power bulletin (sumping).  :hyst:

17 and 18 aren't any better.  Probably made out of same material as the SE M8 valve springs.

Can you give a closer pic of of two mating area breaks so we can see the grain structure and stress riser that my old eyes think I see.

Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the rider?

How could the rider be to blame for a compensator exploding like that?
