    Doesn't sound right to me Ratbob, I do a lot of k's, lot of them on dirt corrugated roads and haven't had one go yet.

    LOL, yep that’d be the perfect cure. I’d love to put a Springer on the Dyna, but seems too difficult.

    Nice machine you have there, I reckon they’re the best of the CVO springers. The 240 rear on the 09 model really buggered the handling. Cheers

    Yep that would be an extreme measure R/B.

    I know yours sounds like it has gone completely so will need replacing but I've had success with a seal mate when I've had seals leak in the past.

    Can be bought for about $10 if I remember correctly, easy enough to make your own though.

    Pushed up into the seal and rotated to clean any shit out.

    Has worked for me.

    Interesting tool Vic, not expensive so I may as well get one for future use. I gotta pull the fork this time to refill it etc but it’s not something I’d seen before, Cheers
