Here is the description....  Your Harley Davidson is leaking on the garage floor since a few years now,tired of that.... here is a simple solution. I have had that problem a long time ago on my own bike (67 generator Shovel in the last picture) and had come up with this new type of spacer with an o-ring inside that seal the oil from coming out on «ALL» 4 speed Harley Davidson Big Twin transmission. It is made to correct the problem on «ALL»  4 speed Harley Davidson Big Twins transmission, where the leak occur between spacer and the main drive gear,a common and not always working method to try to solve that leak,is to put silicone on the outside of the spline before installing the sprocket,some old wrenches still do it that way,but you should know that it is always better to seal the leak where it usually start. This special spacer with o-ring correct the problem without any silicone, and it was tested and tried for several years now by me and by a lots of peoples, and everyone is more than happy with the results including me,on my own 1966 and 1967 generator Shovel and also my 82 cone Shovel. It will also work perfectly with the aftermarket gear that have a o-ring against the shoulder ,you will simply «double» your security with this special spacer with o-ring. The spacer come with «1» o-ring already installed and «2» extra o-rings for spare,for a total of «3» just in case,I also supply complete installation instructions via email as soon as I send the spacer to you.  Here is some testimonies received from some of my customer's..... Well, I don't think that putting the spacer in was any problem, not my first or the last time I'll do one, real easy and wonderful fit, your work is above excellent, I'll be getting one for the 65 I just got in a few months. I told some people in Fla last week and they thought the idea was great they run pans and shovels. Thanx again for above average work and craftsmanship. You'll hear from me again.  Bill in South Carolina Hey Ray probably almost a year ago I put one of your bushings on my 79  80"--just letting you know there's no leaks Russ P Ray, finally getting back to you regarding the spacer. I installed it a few weeks ago and have had the bike out several times since (maybe a total of 100 miles). Happy to say it hasn't leaked a single drop of fluid. Probably the first time I can say that in the 42 years I've owned the bike (and maybe 4 or 5 main seal replacements over those years).
I followed your advice by polishing up the 4th gear threads, wrapping them with electrical tape, and then applying some fluid on everything. I did set the new spacer out in the sun for about an hour before sliding it on; hoping to get a bit of thermal expansion to ease the fit (probably more effective here in Arizona than in other places). It slipped on perfectly...
Thanks for everything. Your product is superior in every way.

I rebuilt my shovel 4 speed with your spacer with o ring and new bushings several months ago and still no leaks! I love it.,Tommy fromTexas

Hey bud, quick update. Got one of your spacers this past spring and the thing is the nuts. My main shaft seal leaked no matter what I tried. Just had to pull my clutch and sprocket for an unrelated issue but decided to look at the seal to see how it was holding up, and me tell you dry as a bone. I'm so impressed I've been telling anyone I know with a 4spd to get this spacer. Thank you for offering a great fix to a never ending issue. Sincerely Chris.
i bought one of these from you months back-- i now have over 2500 miles on the bike (1979 FXE 80") since i installed this and theres not 1 leak. i carried a piece of cardboard with me to check and no leaks.. i use the bel-ray tranny oil and its red .. no red drops.. my engine oil is ultima and its blue... thanks for a product that ACTUALLY works :) - panhead100ci I got the spacer, installed it and took a nice long ride. Great part! Really cool not have trans oil flinging all over and no puddle. I have the cleanest Shovel around. Thanks and good ridin' bassgoat1979 I`m about the only one that still rides at work. I`ve been noticeing that "my" spot at work, the oil spots are slowly disappearing with weathering and age. Since my addition of Ray`s spacer several years ago, no more leaks  Steve Ray, you're the man. Your o-ring spacer worked like a charm. I'm leak free and ready to reassemble my inner primary. Gotta love someone with an engineering mind, and of course, the right tools.
Thanks again,

 Rays spacer
So while we're on the subject of main seals and such I'll tell you my experience with the tranny main seal/sprocket spacer Ray(Saddlebagrail) makes. My shovel bobber project has always leaked a little oil from the trans main seal area, which is very annoying because it was built up from a new STD case, new andrews main gear and shaft and related parts. After having the same experience with several other 4 speed that I have rebuilt I did come to the conclusion that oil is free to seep past the sprocket splines on the inside of the seal spacer. When Ray announced his custom spacer with O ring I new that this would be just the ticket. The spacer comes with an extra O ring and I managed to ruin a few because they are easily cut on the splines as you push the spacer in. But as with all things practice makes perfect. I found that dressing the sharp edges with an abrasive rubber wheel on my dremel lets me install the spacer first try without O ring damage. Not one drop of oil has leaked from this transmission in the 2 months since I made the repair and thats from a tranny that has always leaked. I have now bought 7 of these spacers from Ray and would not consider a rebuild or reseal with out one. Kudos to you Ray. Bill F, from Bowdoin in Maine Thanks soooo much, not a drop of oil! I battled this major leak for 6 weeks, I tried everything to no avail!Your product WORKS!Please send me your email address or some way to contact you if you don't have this listed, I know many people with the same problem. I plan on telling everyone how great this is,again..........Thanks........CB

- clifford5930   My shovel's been down a few weeks with a flat, and I've been working on other projects and have another bike on the lift. ALL of my previous shovels would have a puddle underneath, but thanks to Ray's spacer and a little work on the primary-to-engine seal there is absolutely NO DRIPS under my sled. +1 on Ray's spacer!   HOBO saddlebagrail, ray!! as many others have before.........thanks for the cheap easy fix on the main seal spacer. works like a charm
the 79 i bought recently only has 9000 miles on it, but when layed on the kickstand would dump oil outta the main seal, pulled her apart yesterday....after about 2 hours or so she aint dripped a drop. now to do the 76 Brian Quick update...I installed one of these o-ringed spacers when I resealed my tranny about 5,000 miles ago. My Shovel has currently been parked in the same spot for a month, as I am awaiting some new lifters...and there is not one single drop of oil under it. Not one. The nifty spacers he's offering are TOP quality...and they WORK!! Go for it! Hawg Rider

Ray~

 I installed the spacer in my trans. No issues shaving the O-ring. Used Teflon tape to cover the M.S. Gear threads and synthetic O-Ring lube to avoid that. I ran the bike a few minutes and  no leaks. Not the  next day or two weeks now. I am so THRILLED with your creation! Also, you are generous with your tech tips and picks as read on Shovelhead Forum.

 You are doing God’s work sir! Steven

 

I got it all back together. NO leaking. I go out everyday and stare at the garage floor...incredible. Ray's modified spacers are the Shiznit!  hyrax222  

My gearbox still "keeping tight" but this is probably not a big surprise to you. It was one of the best things I have done to my bike so far, just the pleasure to walk over to a bike without a big oil spot underneath is enjoying. Thunderroad. I just installed my spacer and it fit like a glove, thanks. The instructions you included were very helpful. Every 4 speed owner should have one. wvspike Just another satisfied customer here!!!!Sent my parts to Ray last winter,let the Master fix it:smile:Bushing,o-ring spacer and all.For the first time EVER,my dry primary is DRY!!!.Thanks,Ray for a job well done!!! Vern This by far one of the easiest upgrades for our old bikes. Install was easy peasy. Thanks again Ray.   hogguy420   it takes some finesse, but Ray gave some great suggestions on smoothing over the teeth so it will lesson the chance of nicking the o-ring. I installed one in a tranny and followed his suggestions. Then used some electrical tape over the teeth. It was a bitch to push over....... but 1st time no leaks, and its filled with synthetic, not a drop since. Hard to believe a 4 speed could stay drip free. Its such a common sense idea that works perfect. Worth every dollar I spent. All 3 of my shovels have them.........................Rick(shovelhead forum)
Dear saddlebagrail, I bought one of your transmission spacers and want to thank you for making such an excellent part. I installed it about three weeks ago and have put several hundred miles on the bike without any leaks at all. This old man is loving his shovel again! - ghoulrider Trans Mainshaft Leak...the fix is There's a sprocket spacer that cures the leak down the main shaft. The leak comes from the machining running perpendicular to the threads. 3/8" splines. They hold the sprocket in place so it won't spin on the shaft.
The factory spacer does nothing to keep oil in the trans. The fix is a spacer with an O-ring on the inside of the spacer. It rides on the smooth area of the main shaft just behind where the threads end.
I've had one on my bike for about five years and haven't lost a drop of Belray.
I purchased mine from some guy up in Canada(saddlebagrail) who apparently has a lot of time on his hands and also has access to a machine shop. I should be so cursed. Its one of the nicest little upgrades I've ever done to my bike. 
You'll dig it, too . The spacer with the internal seal is the way to go. I installed one on my 82 and , waddayaknow, no more spots. My Belray stays where I want it to. In the box, not on the ground.   Once I installed it and saw how freaking good it worked, I had to tell everyone with a shovel. 
Get the spacer. You really won't be sorry.  tommylucky from Shovelhead forum Hey yeah speaking of Saddlebagrail, I just got the bike down off the lift, been up there since Dec. Used one of his sprocket spacers with the o-ring. Got about 125 miles on the mainshaft leak repair.......nary a drop to be found, at least not off the front sprocket anyway. The spacer he sells is a God send. Thanks Ray!!! Usedktm from Shovelhead forum
Ray,
Thanks so much for the spacer and the lack of oil on the ground.   I have two other bikes with similar problems so you will be hearing from me again in the near future.
Thanks

Billy  You know what I hate about saddlebagrail
special transmission spacer seal, I used to have a self oiling chain, saddle bags, white walls, fender and OL's coat. Now I have to do extra maint myself and oil my own chain and my OL now wants a new jacket. Thanks allot man, thanks a lot. I have been trying to get that thing to seal for 14 years. I have about 2500 miles on since I did it and still clean and one of the rides was 400 miles which is a good indicator that it will hold for awhile.....(THIS IS THE BIKE SHOWED IN THIS EBAY AUCTION THE ORANGE AND WHITE SHOVELHEAD)

M Lowry Hello Ray,,This time I need a 77-79 style spacer,,,love your product and I'm starting to lose count how many I have bought but I know this won't be the last. Until next time. Thank You Regards Kevin RAY-- 6 years now on that transmission spacer with the "O" ring and never a drop of oil -  

 - I use the bell-ray oil so its red -- I never,ever see red.             From Biginchhustler,Shovelhead forum Hi Just want to let you know I installed your spacer and it works like a charm! No leaks and was easy enough to install. Thanks, Brian  O Ring Spacer
I bought one for my 81 shovel, it use to leak like a dripping tap,now it hasn't leaked any oil after a 3500 mile ride, best thing since sliced bread !!! License(shovelhead forum) Suspect this may have been an auto reply, but want to say thanks anyway. this is an integral part to a shovel. you are the only one who figured it out and sells the fix. 

Debbie Johnson

Thank's Ray, For the transmission spacer with the O-Ring for my 81 Shovelhead. Leak is gone,Ed Just wanted to let you know that you tranny seal is without a doubt the best thing for 4 speeds tranny! Been running for a number of months with no issues or drips! Best money ever spent on my 68 Shovel! Thank you

Chuck Hi Ray, I just wanted to shoot you a quick email to let you know I worked on my 65 and put the new space in. I couldn't be happier, it's a perfect fit. It's just perfect machining. I followed your instructions and I needed to use some force to get it over the shoulder but after it popped over it was east. Just wanted to say thanks, and will order another one for my 66 in a little bit. It's a pain taking the primary off but not having any trans leak will be worth it. Thanks, Joe  

Hi Ray,

I got the spacer Thursday ,and got down to tearing it apart today ,so glad to say all is well,i have not replaced it yet but all looks good with the spacer,Thank you so much for all the info you gave me and assuring that there would be no problem,Thank you so much.Andrew.


Just gotta give it a good cleaning before I put it back together.Andrew

Ray, I just got to use the spacer in my own custom build. Most at the shop laughed, but Vic and I tried it. You really have a great product,(no leaks). I need one now for another customer and would like to know what it would take to carry one of each in our shop in the Black Hills of SD. This would be for Sic Vic's House of Horsepower in Hill City, SD. Man I bet I've had no less than 4 peoples looking to find leaks just so we can fix theirs. Thanks for such a great product. Bucky

Hi Ray,


My husband wanted me to email you and say "THANKS!"  The spacer worked out great and he can't thank you enough! Ray,
I got the spacer today, and it installed with a new seal. Seemed to work great, really, really nice piece! Thanks for making those available to everyone. Still waiting on a few things before I can put the primary back together, but should work a treat!
Thanks, Josh Ray, Need more of these please , one of each 1. 35171-37 2. 35070-77 3. 35070-80 Thank you Fred Greatest thing sense sliced bread ! Hey Ray,I got your spacer the other day.Nice job on the machining. Didn't have any problem at all installing it. Thanx much.....Rich P eBay won’t allow me to leave feedback? Very sorry sir. It’s been working well so far. I will tell shovel friends leak free is possible, thank you very much, Dan. PA Finally got around to getting that spacer installed, well so far so good! Seems to have fixed the leak! Thanks again! That’s incredible that no one else is making these.. I’ll tell ya what, I’ve tried new seals, super nuts, thicker oil and it always leaked! Glad I got it tamed now. Sell the idea to James Gaskets and retire, hahaha.   Thanks again Ray! 
Matt Ray I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for the spacer! I received it yesterday and installed it last night. Took the bike for a ride today and no leaks! These will go in every 4 speed I build from now on. Thank you again John Hi Ray
    Just a quick note to let you know the spacer with o ring you sent me works perfectly. I had no problems installing it the first try and the transmission hasn’t leaked a drop. Not many miles yet but I’m sure I won’t have any problems.
Thanks!!! Art I actually have all the 5 models that were made by Harley Davidson during the 4 speed transmission era's,so don't forget,when ordering «PLEASE SPECIFIED» diameter size where seal runs on spacer and total thickness, years of tranny and if it is a rear chain or belt drive ,remember that there is 5 different models of spacers made for all 4 speed Big Twins transmission, (41-E77) (L77-79) (80-81) (82-85 rear chain) (82-86 rear belt) ,as you could see there might be some spacer used on different years even if you mention you need a 77 spacer it could be a Early or Late models so better be sure, than sorry,so make sure you send correct information before ordering,if you are outside Canada and USA please let me know as I will ship anywhere but you will need to add 5 dollars for shipping and handling fees,please take the time to check my feedbacks as a seller from the past,then you will see that I try very hard to get everyone satisfied,thanks again for your interest in this very innovative product.
