⚠️ SHOP FAIL OF THE WEEK ⚠️

Customer rolls in with a leaking transmission…
We crack it open and find THIS 👇
An expansion plug…

Yep. A rubber expansion plug… jammed into the transmission drain hole.

Why?
Because the original drain plug was cross-threaded and the case is cracked. instead of fixing it the right way… someone chose the lazy way out.

Let’s be clear —
That’s not a repair.
That’s a temporary bandaid that has NO business leaving a shop.

That plug relies on rubber and pressure…
Not threads. Not integrity. Not craftsmanship.

💥 It can leak
💥 It can loosen
💥 It can blow out and cost the customer a transmission

This is exactly the kind of work that gives the industry a bad name.

Here’s how we do it at High Desert Performance:
✔️ Inspect the damage
✔️ Replace the case (not shortcuts)
✔️ Return it to a serviceable, reliable setup
✔️ Send it out RIGHT — not “good enough”

The stock 6-speed waved the white flag… 🏳️

This 2016 Harley-Davidson Road Glide got ridden the way it was meant to be—hard.

Problem is… the factory transmission wasn’t built for that kind of life.

Case is done. Gears gave up. Game over.
So we don’t replace it with stock…

We fix the problem.

👉 JIMS Fat 6 going in.

Stronger. Meaner. Built to take abuse and ask for more.

This is what you run when you’re done breaking weak parts.

Around here, we don’t build garage queens.
We build bikes that survive the ride.
