I had a black primary cover on both my 07 SB & 09 NT.
They required little to no maintenance to look good.
Not so with the stock FLD so I have a wrinkled on the way
along with a matching derby cover.

That bike looks good!!

 

Yep cam cover getting changed too.

 

I like the look too. Very nice.

 

Just a heads up cost way less to powder coat. Could have it done around here for 20-30 dollars.
Either way it will look better.

Yes that’s another good way to go especially if you’re a do it yourselfer, I’m not.
You still need a new $40.00 gasket which came with my pre-owned primary cover.

Even with a HD install charge I’ll be paying less that the cost of a new one.
So I’m happy to say I didn’t do as bad as it may look.

Probably not.

I haven't done any wrenching on my FLD yet but the experience I've had on my '01 FXD, you can re-use the primary gasket 2-3 times with no issues. Save yourself a little money and follow the torque down sequence on the service manual.
