Throttle Servo Cover P/N 29009-08
So, for you all who have used this piece to cover the servo wires/connector. Did you have any problems with the air cleaner base plate sitting flush after putting this part between the throttle body and and plate?
I went to my local dealer to pick up a couple of gaskets for my little install. Got back, took everything apart to put the cover on and damn if there is a huge gap where the breather bolts are supposed to go. So, came back to my computer to find out what the hec and come to find out my trusty dealer gave me the thick gaskets instead of the thin ones... Soooo, looks like I'll have to go back to them tomorrow to get the right ones... (but, I digress)...
Now, I'm wondering if the thickness of the cover itself even with the thin gaskets is going to cause a problem...
Any thoughts?

I would make my own gasket with good materials available at parts houses. I recall doing this with an engine case gasket on a Metric bike and it worked perfectly, a gasket for the cover your describing couldnt be anywhere near the complexity of an engine case cover....try it its not that tough.
