I think I have been able to determine that my very slight fluid leak on my 1998 fatboy is between the inner primary and the tranny, it looks like my tranny fluid is a little low.
In the near future ( read next couple of months) I will take the primary off, pull off the inner primary and replace all the seals using this kit from JPcycles

I have never taken the primary apart before. I understand basically what needs to be done. I guess my questions are
1) are there any special tools I need, any unusual socket sizes.
2) anything else I should look at besides the primary seal kit since I will have it apart. I think I may look at the chain tensioner. To my knowledge all in the primary is original and all is working fine. But if I am to go to all this trouble, I dont want to realize I should have done this or that since I was basically right there if you know what I mean.
any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Primary drive locking tool.. OK.. thats the plastic looking block.. no worries. I'll pick one up..
I have heard good things about the all-***** starters.. so I figure their inner primary bearing and seal kit would be ok to use?

Check out the Fix My Hog Dvd's. They have one that shows a inner primary cover replacement on a softail. It covers the whole procedure and tools required. I haven't needed to do it yet but I'm pretty confident I could pull it off after watching the guys do it on the video. I forget which DVD had it but the same DVD covers a bunch of other stuff too.
