Will it work on the vinyl?

Regards and such,

Sorry for the late reply..yes leather dye works fine on vinyl..in fact over here we have very few real leather seats because they absorb rainwater and after a day in the rain you end up with a very soggy seat..If you think leather is waterproof just look at your fingers after soaking in a hot bath for a while.

my mechanic told me to carry a napkin ! the engine has to be removed to repair valve cover leaks !

Good news for you then. There is a link in this thread with directions on how's to fix it for 10 bucks. Congrats! Look how much money this site just saved you!  Its a great thing. These bikes are pretty damn durable and they most all share common problems. Your in the right place.

LOL @ Chief. Speak of the Devil.

I'm truly amazed at the wealth of knowledge this site has to offer. Recently I noticed the same symptom that Chilli described, My first thought was that it was a gasket under the head cover and was dreading the thought of having to tear the bike down. I also had recently switched to a synthetic blend and soon after I started to notice the seepage. It also seemed that the bike ran on the sluggish side. The last time she was due I drained it completely (even replaced the oil screen/spring)  New Oil filter, Went back to SAE 10w-40 oil.
Bike seems to be back to the responsiveness it had when I bought it, Still have the seepage, I keep an eye on it and clean it periodically. Now that I have my new found knowledge from this glorious site (Kudos to all who make it possible) I know what I'll be doing soon as my riding time goes into hibernation mode. Thanks again! BTW... You'd have to stand in line in a Harley Shop for this kind of info! LQTM
