Default Stupid Question

Stupid question, but is a derby cover the same as a clutch cover?

The clutch pack is found behind the derby cover.

The only stupid question is the one not asked (and some of the ones on here).

maybe i am just stupid, but i sure dont see that on my 07 FXDC, nor do i see it in the maual

it says this as for filling...."pour 32 oz of primary chaincase lubricant in through the clutch inspection cover opening"

thats a nice round plate with 5 torx screws in it....which I always thought was called a derby cover....which again brings me to the question of is this a derby cover?

and if dont have that rectangular cover how the F&^% do i know if its overfilled or underfilled?
