Primary Leak

	You are using a tray or container of some sort big enough to hold all the parts, including the primary cover, aren't you? The tray keeps all the parts in one place, it allows you to carry the parts to the wash bench (aka the kitchen sink) and it can then be used for the clean parts. Carry it over to the polishing station (aka your meth addict girlfriend) and you will never loose a part. When all the individual parts are cleaned, polished, inspected for wear or damage and then repaired or replaced you have a tray full of parts ready to assemble. Throw the gaskets into the tray and reassemble the parts. This is how grownups do it. This is how you should do it.
	The foot peg is held on with two large English allen bolts. I tend to agree with Vance, my racer pal who will not even use an impact tool to take his bikes apart, much less assemble them. I try to use the simplest tool for the job.
	Now we can start on the primary cover bolts themselves. You might want to jump ahead to where I realized that late model sportsters need to have the clutch mechanism disassembled before you can remove the primary. For now just grin as I do the wrong thing.

Notes:

Authoring: This site is created with the free composer program that comes with Netscape. We are using 4.7 since rev 6 will not start on our Win2k box. (Some coincidence that the latest Microsoft OS breaks Netscape huh?)

Our Guarantee: No Frames, no Java, no Swift C, no cookies, no cascading style sheets, no dot net monopoly bully and no Active Server Pages. Minimal graphics and no audio without request. Most documents in this site are available on pdf format and those will have full graphics content. We also make the source documents available whether Excel or Word or Autocad. We believe engineering and technology are an art. Free sharing and expression are more important than small-minded monopoly rent seeking. Feel free to use the files and materials on this site. Good luck with your projects.
