Default Narrow Primary Cover

For those of you that have changed your Rushmore Bike Primary to the Narrow Cover, here is my question.
Is that all you need to do the switch the Cover and gasket or is there something like clutch pack that you have to change.
Thanks
Santa

I believe you have to change the derby cover as well.

Yep, the derby cover is different. So, if you have a cool one now, it will not fit the new narrow primary cover.

I switched last winter and ran 12000 miles this year. Not a single issue, but it really does help you get your foot down at a stop.

HD says you do but now that I have one in hand I'm not so sure you MUST - I think there is a bit of a difference in that the narrow version is shallower but a cursory inspection (holding the narrow up to the std on the bike) suggests the hole pattern may be the same. Going to make the change probably Monday or Tuesday so plan to see if they will interchange or not at that time.
