Hey Guys,

Now I maybe over thinking this and my OCD is probably getting the better of me, but for the life of me I cannot get the bottom and top rocker covers to line up!

When I torque the top covers up, they pull down to the right side. Now I know the rocker covers are slanted that way and under force I guess thats the way their gonna go.

Do they all do this? Is there any way to stop it? I guess the top only moves about 8 - 10 thou max put it just bugs me.

Any help or advise is appreciated.

Rob

 

Me too ...one of THE most stupid ideas I have ever seen!! Take a walk around the showroom ...even Harley cant do it at the factory

I read in here about tapping the top with a rubber mallet - that just marks the chrome!!

I was thinking of maybe trying to put a sleeve in there to shim them somehow

 

Hey, you need to update that signature ...where is she at now then

 

Thanks for the reply Gordon. its not just me then! Thought I was losing it there for a while.

I to thought about dowel pins or something similar to stop them sliding. I guess thats just the way they are.

You're right on the signature, things have changed quite a bit. Mileage wise not to much as she's been off the road for the last 4 years! Had her stripped down to the frame and been rebuilding for the last year.

That's riding all year round in the UK for you! Where about's are you?

 

See the rocker locker guy on here under sponsors

 

I tried to force them to line up so all the seams were flush and ended up with leaking covers. FWIW.

 

They have a mind of their own... it's best to let them have their freedom.

Honestly, no one notices but you

Edinburgh ...with no garage, or I'd love a project like that. Almost as much fun as riding

...when it's not the middle of winter ...although I nearly got it out the other day

 

You can use two oďl pumps alignment stud to hold and center them
