You use locktight on the screws?

I didn't think about it since there was no loc-tite on the screws on the timing cover from the MoCo. Might be a good idea though...what is the consensus opinion?

Mine arrived Friday. Haven't put it on yet, as the bike is filthy and I don't want to disrespect the 43.

When you're done mounting her then you should probably install the cover.

I didn't. By the way the screws went in, felt tight, I doubt they'll back out, at least they haven't since I installed mine last years...
...but then I have the correct number!

That may take awhile----

I was told that it would be duly violated prior to delivery, I smelled it and it seemed ok???? what gives?

Completed the mods for mine, ventilated collar so hopefully the doggone Dyna S pointless unit will stay cooler and not fail at inappropriate times. Been running without a cover for a couple weeks. We'll see how this works.

No, that's so the air circulates to help cool the pointless breaker unit. I'm too cheap to buy a new one.

And maybe it'll be a Confusion Generator, too.

No matter whether you were being cheap or not,... it actually looks pretty cool like that! Excellent job.

I'm in the same boat..... Feel guilty about putting a brand spankin' new 43 on the Heritage when she's such a dirty girl.....

The GazintA timing cover looks awesome with the handwritten 7 design as opposed to the plain 7.

Yep, it does look nice. Both the 43 and 7 timing covers are razor sharp pieces of work :DD

So, the easy solution is just to buy a new bike.


geesh, figure it out

Yeah, I don't care much for the gigantic covers, like the derby cover. Looks tacky and overwhelming on the bike, IMHO.
