Default Is clutch inspection cover normally hot?
Just got done doing a clutch adjustment on my 2013 RK. Went for a a ride to test it out. Clutch operation felt OK but when I got home I noticed the clutch inspection cover was hot to the touch. Is this normal and did I just never notice it before?

Yes, your derby cover gets hot. Not sure why you havent noticed it before.

The only things on a HD that don't get hot are the hand grips and mirrors!

Apparently you haven't ridden through Bakersfield, Ca, in the summer.

Hotter than a pair of jumper cables at a Mexican wedding.
