I put on the Brass Collection derby cover and am very happy with it.
You do need a new gasket, and you have to have the bike standing up vertically (cannot be on the sidestand). And you want to be aware that oil could come out, but generally it shouldn't if your primary's oil level is at the proper level.

Harley offers lots of them (they call 'em "derby covers") and the aftermarket offers millions of them.

The black primary cover is off the Heritage Classic 114. Part number is 25700750. I re-used the original gasket. Don't have to replace it. Did it this time and have before on other bikes with zero issues.

Can’t see a way of using spoils unless one was to drill through the swing arm somewhere.
Tires: the Cobras are about all I can find and I like the fact that they are radials. Tires are on my shortlist. The OEMs lack a bit in traction under hard acceleration. I’m able to break the rear tire loose shifting through 3rd gear when really getting on it.

I put Avon Cobras on my previous 2014 Fat Bob. They were much better than the stock Dunlops in both wet and dry. Super tyres!
Once my stock tyres are done, I will be replacing them with Cobras.
You should be able to fit a 200 rear Cobra with no problem - just to make the bike look that tiny bit fatter!
Metzeler 888s seem to also be well liked. Haven't looked to see if they are available for this bike yet though....
