What year did HD switch to covers with the Oil Scoop actually cast into the Primary Cover?

 

I believe it was 2014.......

 

I didn't know they made those.

 

==============

Yes they do make them and if i am not mistaken they are $300-$400 a pop too.

I'd rather take 20 mins to mod/grind original prim cover to accept & epoxy the plastic oil diflector tray that comes with the latest SE comp kit .

BTW,i replaced the original stock comp in my 09 flhtcu when i bought it approx 4 months ago with 9,700 original miles on it .

I now have 6k+ miles on the new SE comp along with GMR's compensaver oiling tray mod i also installed to provide additional oil to the new se compensator i installed .

So far with 6k+ miles on that combo all is good./PHEW! LOL!!.

My '13 had the scoop on the primary but old comp.

 

I just coughed up some coffee. 3 to 4 bones... WTF!

I'm gonna search for part numbers (unless anyone has them).

Scott, I'm going the same route... GMR and SE Comp. Originally went in to replace the IPB at 30k and found all kinds of issues resulting from the bolt backing out :-( I'd love to read any insight, tips, items of note you may have. Did you go the Hayden M6 route or reuse the low mileage tensioner. I trust you bought the stuff from surdyke, ronnie's, or another parts house which offers discounts?

 

no scoop on my 2012

 

Somethings are better left unchanged.

Before the auto adjusting primary chain, there was an inspection cover. All you had to do was drain the oil, take the cover off and dump in the oil there. For some reason, the user manual had you take the derby cover off and buy an expensive gasket.

 

07-13 stock OEM chrome primary cover was 60553-07. For 14 changed to 60553-07A.
