Default Cam cover swap and Torque Values

Going to swap out my black cam cover for a chrome one.
I won't have my service manual for at least another week
but don't want to wait. From what I understand it is pretty
straight forward? Just remove the old one and replace with
the new one using a new gasket? No fluid spillage etc.?
Anything else I need to know? Also does anyone know
what the cam cover bolts need to be torqued to?

Not sure how much oil you will lose. Yes - new cam cover gasket, torque 90 - 120 in-lbs in the sequence shown below:

alansummrs,

I see you did a front turn signal relocation on your bike. How do you like it?
Was it a lot of work? Got any close up pics.

I love the looks of the front signal relocate - hated them hanging down from grips. The mod is a little tedious, will scratch your head a few times going through the instructions but cost wise it is a very affordable upgrade. Trickiest part is crimping on the tiny molex terminals for the connectors that connect under the tank.



I am not much of a long haul rider, But I do like my Mustang seat, especially for the $$ involved. It is not fancy, but serves my purpose well.
