hey Willburz... are you referring to the timer cover guard?... that is actually a bathtub sink cover.... :-)

 

Nice thats what I thought it was.

 

JOEBOTICS... where did you get that cam cover plate? I am looking to replace the "5" cover plate but can't find one I like until I saw yours.

 

nightster79 you are going to crack up when I tell you that my cover is a $3 bathroom sink cover... :-)

 

NHRS does it for about $100 if I'm not mistaken!

 

this is on my to do list, which keeps getting bigger. !!!

Hey guys. I know this is an old post but im thinking about cutting my cam cover too. I have a 2000 sportster. Has anyone done this without removing the cover? Will i have to tap and fill a hole on the bottom of the cover as on other year sportsters? Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Probably impossible unless you want it to look like ****. If you can't do the R&I, don't do it at all.

 

I agree. First, the only way to cut it on the bike would be with a cut-off wheel. You're going to have aluminum dust going everywhere with that. Unless you can hermetically seal the rest of the bike it will be into everything. Second, the oil pump and oil lines are right behind the lower part of that cover. It would be near impossible to trim the cover without cutting into those and probably ruining them. Third, depending on your exhaust and controls set up, you're probably going to have to pull all that stuff anyway. Pulling the cover from there really isn't that difficult. It's not a quick process but it's not a tremendously difficult one either. IMHO.
