OK, so my old 01 Shivers started leaking oil and I shelled out for some new seals and oil. Stripped the frok down checked it over. No stantion scratches everything seems fine. Reassembled it made sure the oil level was correct etc. Went for a light ride just some urban and a little Dj action, and low and behold oil all over the stantions again.

Can anybody share there experience with Shivers and whether they have had leaking problems?

Perhaps your oil height is too high, and creating excessive pressure?
Shivers build up internal pressure as well, burp the pressure out the top caps.
That's all the ideas I have.

Was the 2001 when they came out with the Shiver?? (red and gold ones)...I know the silver ones that came stock on the 2001 Stab Primos didn't have the air hole up top.

Sounds like the seals were installed the wrong way (upside down). You maybe buying new seals (if you installed them yourself) If a shop did it then they can. Sometimes you can remove the seals without damaging them, but its not easy to do. If you can remove the seals without damage just flip them over.
