Gents, the o-ring option is fine to use too. The o-ring is simply crushed within the groove to seal against the oil pan sealing face as would a crush washer. And, as long as the diameter of the o-ring matches the sealing face diameter of the pan. The torque applied to that torx head bolt is the key. It wouldn't require much. The shoulder of the bolt will bottom out on the face of the oil pan sealing face and friction is stopping it from backing out... as is 3lts or so of oil on your rear tyre! Until I get this bike... I will be making this modification using the crush washer option first since it is exactly what the original bolt uses. The main important modification is removing the ramp cast on to the pan.

8-) Hey Cruizin, would it be permitted if ALL members pay you US$XX via paypal and you PDF a legit version and make it available to members to print what sections they require? I'm not going to tear down the engine or gearbox (I've done that to far too many V-twins in my time...) but, servicing forks & swingarm bushes and the like would be great? Say, I'm taking a stab here...how many members are on this great forum? Pay you X amount each... Your time to scan a legit version to PDF and make pages available to download & print? Like I said, I don't require the whole book.... Just the details..... Cheers, Steve
