The only motorcycle in my garage that doesn’t leak from the primary is my 2007 XL1200R. Oh the ‘69 750S doesn’t. Haven’t put oil in it yet.As old as mine is it has yet to discover it can leak from this spot

but others complain about the weight.
well i'll be....
fab'd a new O-ring using 5.5mm silicone stock (https://www.mcmaster.com/1187n19) - installed with red rubber brake caliper grease. short 7 mile run, and checked the bottom of the primary - ZERO LEAK! can't believe it was the O-ring and/or a combination of the O-ring and standard automotive grease all along. anyway, looks like I may have finally fixed the thing. got it sitting on a fresh piece of cardboard - we'll see if I get any "spotting" overnight. happy camper -![]()
i agree - having a classic British bike that's leak free, is somewhat of an oxymoron. still, enjoying the moment....English bikes are very creative, so just give it a little time.
