Just keep it in a jar.... less weight on the bike!
Let me check in my jar, its full of leftovers from every time I wrench on something.
Sorry...

NoooooooooooooSpeaking of which, did ya ever turn those things around, and you know what I'm talkin about
Maybe this winter......
No I did compare and while it looks like it. Those are not threaded and I couldn't line it up to the fitment.
No too threaded I literally sat a tap in it to confirm the threads. Also those bolts are not threaded at the top, that's why I took the pic
You would think it would be leaking. Can't be from inside it's chrome.Has to be part of the inner primary. I'd start taking it back apart if it was mine.

Only thing chromed and threaded I can think of one the outer would be the inspection cover thread's. My inner primary is chromed. Hmm.

As I said earlier, it really looks like its from the inside primary assembly. The outer case where the bolt goes is chromed, go back and look at the pics I posted earlier....check all your outer primary cover screws with an allen carefully, one of them should be loose....

I'd say it's from inside the primary back cover. You'll find out soon enough... Bummer...

That would be easy enough to spot.... right?
Not the same bike actually that was the 04 this was the 07. And rockers are fine I checked those
Well since I looked everything for an hour and I couldn't find where this came from I rolled the dice and I rode today 200 miles and no leaks so can't be outer/inner Primary. The inner primary the bolts there are only two 1/4 and those are on the front side and are intact, Rest are 5/16. I checked the outside primary cover bolts nothing is broke.
I'm going to take the starter out and replace it with my spare I did notice some stress cracks on the starter maybe it's still the starter I don't know if that's it but it looks like it's past it's service life I guess at 6k miles
hell I don't think I can even get this one rebuilt since its cracked.

So after riding it today and came home I took the piece and looked at the spare starter again. Last night I wasn't able to line it up to the spare but it has to be the starter housing. I was able to line it up today and the only difference between the broken one is it's threaded vs my spare is not. But I have to think it really it the starter.Did that too! Have a spare laying around and reviewed it.
Must be it....
Wait those are not threaded either!

Looks close enough to me. This is on the bottom side of the starter which I was unable to see or get a mirror. Next weekend starter is coming out. I think y'all were right it's the starter even though it still worked for 200 miles just fine! Haha

Haha possible I'm curious to see if the new starter fixes this. There was no bang yesterday.Looks like a little starter BANG would bust that up
Agreed just the 8-9 start cycles. Going to try and get some of it done after work this week but we will see so I can have the bike ready for the weekend. Another nice much cooler weekend in Texas.
I'll have to ship the old one off to Curtis to have rebuilt for the next time. See if he has a new starter housing laying around and if it's cheaper than buying a new one. Seeing new ones on EBay for $300
I've also got a new set of pipes I bought a few years ago and I haven't had the time to put them on. I might try and fit those since I think I need to remove the exhaust to get to the starter. Although I believe I'll need to fab a bracket so will see if I have the time.

Few years ago, I purchased a used but cleaned up starter on ebay. Great score on ebay, been in bussines for many years. Well wrapped and in great condition. I used it for a while and all was fine. One day, I got a slam sound and broke the jackshaft. I swapped the starters and the alternator guy show showed me where the old jackshaft was welded and cleaned up. It broke exactly along the original break. The funny thing is that the guy is on here and well respected. I never said anything to him about it. Lesson learned.
Glad you found yr problem.
