You've been upgrading that tranny over time I guess. One question was about that wider shaft. How does it help, etc?
It helped an HD engineer keep his job by showing that he was doing something. It also cost me a F-ton of money because our High Torque bearing will no longer fit on 08 and later models. I think they did it just to mess with us (Baker)

Too many neighbors, you can stay at my shop and use the Kayaks to find a better spot to plant along the river. Close water source.

To answer without bias, it makes very little difference. The change was like .005"

Nice knife, Lou. I still have a small pocket knife my grandpa gave me when I was about his age. I treasure it.

I'm thinking of just marrying into it. Save myself a whole lotta time.

The first 6 speeds had race walk with the IPB inner race. In 08 they came up with a thicker shaft that had a shoulder to prevent race walk. Baker and S&S both had their own solutions but when I rebuilt my tranny at 100,000 miles I upgraded my shaft.

That doesnt surprise me. HD will either copy what works or make it irrelevant.
