Hi I have iron 883 2013 model. I bought a pair of battery/oil tank cover to replace my existing one.


There are plenty of video on youtube showing how to replace battery side, but I can't find any about the oil tank side.

Anyone has some good video, picture? or simple step-by-step instructions?


many thx.

 

 

I removed my seat, removed oil cap, then I simply used a flat tip screw driver and pryed up with alittle by each little button tab on the top while pulling the cover off. Its pretty simple.

 

​​​​​​Exactly like whylee says. Just be careful prying.

 

My 2013 Service manual says to remove the seat and then remove right side cover by gently prying bottom lip off tab on the oil tank.
Then lift top of cover off two stanchions molded into top of oil tank.

 

You can do it either way, I found it easier to go from the top myself.
