My head is still spinning from this thread!
Basically because of the derby cover fitment mix-up, you've gone from trading in the Super Glide for a Fat Boy Lo, and now you're back on the Super Glide. What a roller coaster ride!
Anyhow, good luck with the bike. The satin chrome looks pretty cool!

I like the Black Denim and Satin Chrome.
I am planning on changing the Super Glide tank out to the Street Bob tank, speedo, dash, apes, cables, engine covers, wide tire kit, headlight, passenger pillion, passenger pegs, ect ect ect. I might as well buy the 2011 Fat Boy Lo here at the local dealer. Change the intake and exhaust and and be done with it.

Here is the scoop! I called the stupid girl back at the dealer and reamed her a new ***. She liked it so much she wants me to call back again next week for more.
The reason why the primary cover from the Fat Boy Lo primary does not not fit the Super Glide is because the SG comes stock with mid controls. As for you jshull and myself with the forward controls installed it does work for us.
The stupid girl was correct to my answer if going by what it says in the big book.

Here's how mud did his engine:
Here ya go Dan.........
This is the stripper I use.
.
.
Delaminates the powdercoating pretty good.
.
.
.
.
Then ya gotta hit it with fine wet/dry sandpaper,
and polishing rouge,
pictured farther down a couple pix
.
.
Clamped my big motor to the table (outside),
you see a couple rouge bars in the lower right corner of the picture
.
.
.
.
another shot of the stripper in action
.
.
below, fine wet/dry sandpaper, diamond pads, water squirt bottle, a fine file for flats,
the castings are somewhat rough under the powdercoating.
And I like this X-treem polish for the final touch.
.
.
Polishing all this aluminum is a pretty big job.

I am trying to add the Satin Chrome covers from the Softail Fat Boy Lo to my 2010 Super Glide engine. The cam and transmission side covers will fit but the primary cover will not. Can I buy the chrome covers for the Dyna and try and give them a Satin Silver look? Any ideas would be appreciated. I thought about sanding down the chrome and them having them polished to see what I get. Damn primary cover!

This is really that serious that you had to call and ream her out, after you had to look for the answer yourself on an internet forum?
Ever consider that perhaps she doesn't have the time, or interest to spend hours on the internet researching every part swap combo so that she can spend her time at work fielding calls from every Joe with a pipe dream asking if part XYZ from bike A will fit bike B, only for them to go buy it on ebay?
I hope that you were joking, but if not, my comment stands: really?
