I was just wondering how much workwould it beto change rocker box gaskets on a 99 Fatboy. Is this something that could be done without too much trouble? I don't have a service manual, but it don't seem like it would be that tough.

I did it on my Buell and it wasn't bad at all. Just be sure to get allof the old gasket off and nothing falls in. Is it the rear rocker? I've never had a front one go bad.

 

I have replaced them on both my bikes. Neither for leaks, the Train swaped for chrome and the RK had pitting on the originals. The manual would help for torque values, torque patterns, etc. I had ordered the "Dog Bone" extensions from McMaster-Carr that the manual suggested for tightening a couple of the bolts that are hard to get at. If you are just doing the upper covers, very easy once the tank is off. If you are doing the lowers as well, you need to remove the breathers, rocker arm shafts and pushrods. (Don't mix up the pushrods, intake and exhaust are different. You will have 2 black and 2 silver. I take a piece of cardboard, punch a line of holes in it with a screwdriver, mark one end front and install the rods in as I take them out front to back.) A few hour job, but if your mechanical not bad at all.
