Where can I get a cover to change out the "5" one???

What's the technical name for that piece... It seems like it's only for look and not function.

It's called a Timing Cover, and yes, on the newer sporties, they are for look & not function. You can get them any place you order other parts from....Just do a search for sportster timing cover.

I thought the "5" was how many miles you get from the dealership before parts start falling off.
