Well, the lines ARE installed. However, I see a very slight weepage coming from under the plate where the filter screws on and the adapter body. I removed the plate and re-installed it after a *very* thorough cleaning and made sure the 3 screws holding it down were tightened appropriately. It still has a leak. Slight, but still. I thought about maybe using some RTV under the plate, but there's no room for a bead near the bottom. Oh well. I'm not going to obsess over this. All Harleys leak, right? LOLLOL Of course, I'll keep an eagle eye on the oil level. We took a first-of-the-season ride yesterday and everything seemed to function well. If/when I put on the braided steel lines next winter, I guess I'll take the whole thing off and inspect and re-install, again.

Ride safe!
