Twisted has the right supplier. And just so you know, it's not the inner primary it's the outer primary cover. The inner is sometimes replaced with a chrome one for looks but the outer is already chrome on your fatboy. That big round thing on the primary cover is usually called a derby cover. The drain plug is just under that on the outer primary cover.
I changed my outer primary to wrinkle black 6 months ago.

+1 on the timeserts, while heli coil can and does work at times you will probably need to use a bigger plug and the threads tend to pull out after a while.
Timeserts will allow you to use the same size drain plug and is a more permanent fix.

Stop in Memphis. After we fix it we can go to Rendezvous and get a slab of ribs and a pitcher of beer.
That fix won't take more than 45 min to do.
And the dealer cannot void the warranty unless the plug coming out is the cause of warranty claim.

Not sure if he's still in business but try and find a number for Steve at Showbike customs in downtown Vegas. Good machinists and great guy. He put some new metal on a set of heads for me and you couldn't tell there had ever been a problem.

Well, it was my BIG *** mistake to NOT call the dealer as soon as I saw the leak. If I had not touched it..warranty covered. Service manager said it would come down to my "word" that I did not over tighten.
