Just noticed last night that the front master brake cylinder cover (09 FLHR) is chipping around the gasket area. Will get a replacement cover on my way home. I have the service manual at home but would like to ask if this is going to be a simple remove and replace job. Don't want to mess with it if it's going to be more involved. Will I also need a new gasket?

TIA

 

no just loosen the screws and replace cover very easy

 

It's simple, but don't over tighten the screws or it will leak again and ruin the new cover. I put a chrome one on because of this.
Tighten the screws just to it starts to compress the seal around the top of the master cylinder.

 

What Scarabsport said. Do Not over tighten the screws!!!!

 

Gasket is leaking replace it with new cover don't over tighten the screws!
