Motorcycle Repair/primary leak

Question
I own a 2003 HD Superglide Sport. My primary drain plug is stripped out and leaking primary fluid.
What is the best way to fix this problem?

Answer
You will hae to remove the primary cover and drill the hole out and install a insert so you can reinstall the plug. I would not use a heli-coil. they dont work very well on threads where the bolt is being removed alot
Good luck and happy riding
