Default Changing out the timing cover

If you replace the timing cover with a skull one fo a 08 ultra:

do you need a new gasket?
do you need to drain oil first?
any other issues or is this pretty easy?

Just to clarify, you are talking about the small circular timing cover on the right side of the scoot and not the larger circular derby cover right?

I would just torque them down. They do nothing but hold on the cover that has nothing under it. If you use locktite you may strip the heads on the soft SS bolts that holds it on when you want to take it off one day.

That's where you're supposed to hide all your cash for upgrades so the wife won't find it.
