Sorry to see it, but have to agree with the stated this could have been a lot worse .. Glad you saw it quickly and made a safe stop ..

 

i feel your pain bro my thundermax crapped the bed on me sunday sucks big time at least your safe and noticed the oil

 

Wow, the bike runs fine and you have a 3"X1/2" hole in bottom of your oil pan.
A conneting rod bolt come loose?
Curious as to what caused it.
Glad you handled it well. I would be going ape s--t.

 

Yea I'm very curious as well. You would think that to put that big of a hole by hitting something you would sure as hell feel it. I will try to get a pic of the pan.

 

glad you didnt lose it and it sure sucks doesnt it, the friday before 4th of july last year my voltage regulator went on my still under warranty nightster, dealer couldnt get it fixed until the tuesday after because they didnt have one in stock and they wouldnt pull one off of a used bike to get me through the weekend.

my friends had a great time in VA without me...

 

Sure looks like you hit road debris. Good news, quick fix. Bad news, won't be warranty.

 

Way to go getting off the side of the road safely. Maybe a piece of rebar or something was laying on the and you hit it just right.

 

Curious to see what the hole looks like, have you found out what caused it yet?
Who built your 103?

 

There's never a convenient time for this to happen, but yeah a holiday weekend does really suck. Good job keeping it upright.

 

Not yet. It's at the Salt Lake Harley dealer. I bought it from there and they built the motor so I wanted to have them look at it. The hole is on the right side of the oil pan running from the front corner back.
