Im a twin cam guy that's going to try to help my friend work on his shovel and learn some things along the way.
Starting with basics he had a shop put this SnS carb on with a ROUND filter and this cover, both are wrong the filter don't seat and the cover only bolts up in the front two bolts.

S&S "B" and "E" covers do Not Interchange...generally this is evidenced by only two screws lining up..
Someone has been Cobbling on that poor thing...
It is an '80 Model year...but, I can't make out the first two [number letter] combination...for Model
Guessing it was an FXE, but....
I especially like the way they smashed the rear pipe down to get a Socket on the exhaust port Bolt!!!!
You may want to start with one that has had a better Life...Or...If you enjoy a Challenge...Post away!!!
Oh...and if he's gonna overfill it while on the sidestand...he needs a better fuel cap...Unvented on the left side...

I'll look for a unvented cap for him to.
Pissed me off how he could let a beautiful piece of iron like that fall apart!

Looking at the pic, I think that may be an S&S "E"...so guessing they are trying to put a "B" cover on it...If that is so...I have a Friend wo needs to make a Trade with Hobo...
Gonna be a Challenge...I can only shudder to think what the Inside looks Like!!!!!!
Hopefully it never ran good enough to hurt itself!!!!!!
