| + | These are in two separate pieces. ((aswracing of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-motor-engine/sportster-motorcycle-bottom-end/49717-flywheel-scraper?t=203160)) \\ | ||
| + | The scraper peels the oil off the flywheels and sends it down under the windage tray. \\ | ||
| + | The windage tray isolates the oil under the flywheels so that windage from the flywheels doesn't kick it back up again. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The back end of the windage tray, where it meets the case and the scraper, has some half-moon style cutouts to allow scraped oil to go past. \\ | ||
| + | The front of the windage tray attaches to the factory windage barrier. \\ | ||
| + | It's basically an extension of the factory windage control. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The scraper needs to be .010" to .020" from the flywheels to work properly. \\ | ||
| + | The main thing is getting it all to fit, such that it works properly and the cases can be bolted back together without interference. \\ | ||
| + | Takes a little trial and error, bending, filing, checking, repeat. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | There's some drilling and fitting and filing work to install it, but it's not difficult. \\ | ||
| + | You could make one yourself if you want, but the kit saves time and trouble. \\ | ||
| + | When installing this mod, make sure you put some sealer of some kind on the fasteners that pass through into the transmission area. \\ | ||
| + | Otherwise oil will seep through and fill your primary. \\ | ||

| + | Here's how it's done on S&S cases. \\ | ||
| + | Notice how it has a scraper built right into the cases, that peels oil off. \\ | ||
| + | It then goes through a reed valve to the chamber below, where the scavenge inlet resides. \\ | ||
| + | The advantage to this method is that the reed valve prevents any vacuum (from the pistons going up) from being seen at the scavenge inlet. \\ | ||
| + | Putting vacuum on the scavenge inlet plays hell with scavenging. \\ | ||
| + | We never see wet-sumping issues with this setup the way we do on stock (XL) case motors. ((aswracing of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-motor-engine/sportster-motorcycle-bottom-end/49717-flywheel-scraper?t=203160)) \\ | ||
