Got an email from RMATV saying my case half for the input shaft on the front diff has been pushed back to 6/24. That'll make it 2 months (if it shows up then) to get the part.

Luckily, I kinda had a backup plan, and ordered another input seal and the little o ring that seals the half. Pulled it, and sure as s*** i put a scratch on the input yoke The first time i did the seal. In my defense, I don't have many tools at home and rarely plan ahead well for such things...so not done with the best of tools. I sanded it out with some fine sandpaper and put it back together. We'll see in a few weeks if it holds this time.

I set mine down this afternoon on my new scissor trailer that I was adding tie downs too. Pulled forward to put the trailer back under the pontoon and backed over it.

Front input seal on the front diff started leaking. Replaced it just before Bill came down to ride. Seemed fine for a few rides then started leaking even worse. Thought maybe the bearings were getting loose, so just got the whole assembly for $120 to cover all the bases. It's on back order.

Gotcha. That seems pretty reasonable. Not to get your hopes up with way parts are but I’ve had real good luck lately on getting back ordered Honda stuff quicker as stated. Been buying through Ron Ayers Honda but don’t think that matters.
