Re:How do you get all the oil out of the Roadie. 2 Years, 6 Months ago

Thanks shoshin....
that was the company?? I think? duh!!
I,ve been retarded.. oops! I MEAN retired to long, memory ain,t my strong point..??

I wonder if by looking at a used harley oil filter, a brand name say? the flange (threaded) part, is the same as a RS? .. All oil filters (spin on style} seem to be N.P.T.?? just like petcocks that screw into a gastank?
(Iam talking motorbikes now) cause I maybe wrong!!

anyway perhaps that "oil flushing attachment" would work on a RS?.... and take away the risk of running engine with no oil ??

this is an idea for the original post....personally I ain.t that {paticular)...just drain it..and shove in 3-4 quarts!...thing I like about my Roadie.. it ain,t no rocket science..(oops Iam in trouble again??!!}
