    My front is..
    But considering the amount of oil that blows out the breathers.. I'm not that concerned.

    Yeah, I have nearly 5000 kms on mine, and the rear rocker box on the right side of the bike had small amount of oil weeping out when I took it out yesterday. Looks like its a Harley thing....

    Heard of this happening a fair bit on the U.S HD forums, common problem on the Sportsters apparently. Waited for it to happen to my Iron and whaddya know at around 6-7000kms the rocker covers started to cry a bit.

    Couldnt get a torque wrench on em to check specs and considering still under warranty, just took it in and they replaced both of em. Nothing to worry about really unless it goes from slight seeping/weeping to dripping

    Now im starting to get pissed off, got em 'fixed' at 12,726kms under warranty.

    Doing it again at 14,900kms, fucks sake! Is this something I shall just have to live with? It just looks $hithouse!

    My Iron had a tiny bit of weeping rear left rocker cover, got the allen key out and nipped it up and all ok - got I little bit of movement with the allen key, I'm guessing things settle in after a few thousand kays?

    its the principle really

    16625 bux brand new(now 18225),I dont think its to much to expect more from new machinery than what HD are getting away with .

    for me its like being totally head over heals in love with a fat ugly chick ,I look past certain attributes to enjoy the motor
