Primary Chain Shoe

If you need a new Primary Chain Shoe for your Sporty . . . Get the ones from your local Harley-Davidson shop.  The black ones are better.  They are a bit longer than the aftermarket "white" ones (which are too short).  The short, white ones don't have enough length - and the steel, clamp deal that holds them on can't quite grab enough meat to adequately hold it on.  I still kinda glue the shoe on with some "Right Stuff" before I clamp it for extra insurance.  Don't run your chain too tight either (especially with a new shoe), since the plastic shavings will just clog up the oil passages in your counter shaft and door bearings.  I run the 75W Bel-Ray Gear Oil.  It's a nice red color (and when it turns black, time to change it !)
