Outer primary cover models?
I'm planning the forwards to mids mod on my bike and are searching ebay for parts. I understand the I can drill out my inner primarycover, but I'm a bit confused about the outer one.
My bike is a 14 fatbob. Did they mod the cover in 2010 and 2014? Some covers say they will fit up to 2010 and I think I've red somewhere that they did some kind of modification in 2014 aswell ( Chain tensioner? )?
So do I need a cover from a 2014-up streetbob or will older covers work?

I think an older cover will work but you have to use the plastic oil bath gizmo glued inside the older covers for the upgraded primary compensator. Dealer should know the P/N. I replaced the compensator in my '07 and the kit came with the plastic oil bath dealio. Requires special glue too. 128auto did a write up some time back. I believe the newer inner and outer primary covers have the oil bath shield built in.

The 14+ compensator requires oil to be flung at it from the cover. Naturally the pre 14 models don't do this so you have to glue a plastic scoop to those covers when installing the 14+ compensator. The 14+ cover has the scoop cast in via ribs.

Look up a thread by HD Pilot - he did a mid install on a fwd control Fat Bob. There should be a lot of good info in there for you.

Yeah, the 2014 and up outer primary cover is what you need for your compensator - Matt's dead on as usual. 
The fwd to mid controls is one of my favorite mods for sure, I feel much more in charge of the bike now and don't drag my heels around corners any more. If you enjoy maneuvering more than cruising, you will love the mids!
