I BOUGHT THIS 3/28/2006 AND MY AIR CLEANER HAS OIL COMING OUT ONTO THE EXHAUST AND MYSELF AS WELL AS ANYWHERE BEHIND THE AIRCLEANER ON DOWN TO SOME DEGREE. I TOOK IT TO A HARLEY DEALER IN IOWA SINCE I WAS A WAYS FROM MY PURCHASE DEALER. THEY SAID TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT TO SEE IF IT WILL STOP. I WAS UPSET AND DID NOT GO BACK. WHY DO THEY THINK I WAS THERE JUST TO SAY HI,UNBELIEVABLE. I HAVE SEEN WAYS TO DO DIVERT THE OIL. AT XL FORUM BUT IT IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM IT IS JUST A PATCH AT BEST. SOME SAY RUN LESS OIL. BUT IT STILL BOILS DOWN TO THE BAD COMPONET. I HAVE BEEN STUING OVER THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND FINALLY HAD TO SAY SOMETHING. AT ALMOST 60 YRS OLD I JUST NEED TO GET THIS OFF MY CHES

BEFORE TELLING HIM WHAT MODEL IT WAS, HE SAID, "IS IT A 2006 SPORTSTER?" HE THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 2006 SPORTSTERS' ROCKER ARM AND THEY WERE REPLACING THEM WITH THE 2007 ROCKER ARMS. THEY CALLED BACK THREE WEEKS LATER AFTER SUPPOSEDLY WAITING FOR THE PARTS FROM HARLEY DAVIDSON TO TELL US THAT HARLEY WOULD HAVE TO TEST THE BIKE WITH THE FACTORY PIPES ON BEFORE T
