Transmission oil leak

Hello
I bought 1985 FLTC EVO with a new RevTech 6 Speed set Installed in 5-speed gearbox and now it developed a nasty leak and specially leaks bad when it is on the kickstand .I filled the gearbox with kerosene and he spills freely out.I think that I need to replace mainshaft oil seal and perhaps the main drive oil seal.Question is: does anyone know if the RevTech set take the stock seals? What are the best seals to buy and where? I live overseas and my only option to order from US site.
Thanks
 
Pretty sure most of the internal components of the Rev Tech tranny are OEM parts. The main drive gear seal (the big one) is probably the source of the leak but you would be wise to replace every seal behind the inner primary with OEM parts, i.e., MDG seal, mainshaft/5th gear seal, quad seal, pulley spacer, shift shaft seal and jack shaft seal. Harley will not ship internationally so you will have to find a local dealer to order parts for you. Custom Chrome sold Rev Tech parts but not sure if they are still in business. JP Cycles and PhatPerformance may sell parts but IMHO, better off to use OEM parts as replacements.

First of all thank you very much. Because of my knowledge of English is limited, I do not really understand what's better for me to buy and where. I always preferred American-made replacement parts. I can buy Harley parts and send to my friend in US and then he will send it to me. My problem is that I do not know who to contact and explain what exactly I want to buy
 
If I follow, you can order HD parts and have them shipped to a friend in the US and he can send to you? I have attached a couple of links for you to check out. Newcastle HD, an online HD discount dealer where you can order parts and a link to Ronnie's HD Parts Finder where you can look at the illustrations, find the parts/part numbers you need so you can order from Newcastle. As I said in my previous, you should replace all the seals behind the inner primary and I would also replace the inner primary bearing seal and of course the primary gasket. Let me know if you have questions.;)
