Hi,
I'm changing the oil seal (2163-36) behind the sprocket on the transmission from my 1957 FLH. Behind the oil seal is part number 2163-36B - oil seal cork washer. I don't have this part. Local input is that the cork washer is not necessary. I think that the engineers who designed the system had a reason to have it there. Normally I'd just order the cork washer but I'd like to have the bike back together for an upcoming event. What's the groups thinking on if the cork washer is needed or not?
