Is 1 quart oil sufficient vs. 38 oz. in the 6 spd. tranny

That 6 oz. spread out over the length of the primary is not perceptible to the eye.
Put the qt. in look at the level threw the opening and it contacts the area of the clutch basket to satisfy what the owners manual states for visual inspection.
I have always done one quart with my 10 HD's for many years and many miles. Zero issues. Guess what? Most techs at the dealer only put one quart in.
To the new math folks. 6 0z is only 12.5 % of 48 0z. not 16% - Jeez
And what about what is still in the primary case?

Yes I was assured when I bought my quart of Torco RGO 85W140 today which was recommended by him (Harley Service Manager) that 32oz is fine. I have a 2012 Ultra. He said when service work is done that's all they install (1 quart).
He also recommended Mobil1 20W50 for the engine and the Harley Primary Oil for the primary.

I would take "dry" to mean new disks ( which themselves should be soaked in fluid for a few hours or overnight before install.) and the primary cases opened, clutch basket cleaned...all that
I do zip tie the clutch lever overnight on a routine fluid change, on the jiffy stand...hoping to get out as much as I can
