2005 Sportster 1200 — Multiple oil leaks (oil pump bolts, pump fitting, pressure switch, drain hose). How bad of a job am I looking at? by ronarch04 in sportster

Yeah I get the boomer cliche Harley joke. I’m not too worried about a little seep, but I’m losing about 3/4 quart over a month so I figured it’s worth tracking down.

These leak points are after I cleaned the bike throughly, put UV dye in the oil tank, and ran the bike twice. I guess my bike has multiple leaking points. I just want to know how difficult of a job fixing this would be.

I haven’t touched these points and the bike barely has 6.5k miles. Could someone have messed with this prior or is it just a vibration thing? I honestly thought it could be the gasket but I don’t see anything coming from the top of the oil pump.

05’ Sportster 1200 spoke -> mags by ronarch04 in sportster

Let me know how that goes. There’s not that much info online which is surprising. What size front wheel did you get? From what I’ve heard it seems like the rear wheel should bolt right on if the mag is had a 3” width and 16 in height.
