Default New derby, gasket question...

Installed a new derby cover&nbsp\\;with a brand new gasket (the black mousemat) on my Bob -07.
It said "this side to clutch"...&nbsp\\;the thing is
I THINK i put i right, was stressed, my girlfriend was around making noice, and I&nbsp\\;now when I went to bed I´m not convinced that&nbsp\\;I got it right...&nbsp\\;99% sure...not good enough.
&nbsp\\;
****I haven´t start the Bob since the change****
&nbsp\\;
1. Can I remove the derby just to double check, put it back without a buing a new gasket again?
2. If it´s wrong, what could happen? Leak?
&nbsp\\;
****I haven´t start the Bob since the change****
&nbsp\\;
Need answer quick! Can´t sleep [&:]

yes it will just leak a bit, you will be fine... you can pull it off and double check it, just slide a 2x4 under the stand to make it stand up strait and pull it off, then toss back on some loc tite and your golden... man relax brother, i made my derby cover! it has no groves, i cut my own gasket and have had the same one now for 2 years! works great... all you ahve to do is run your fingers along the underside by the primay (under the derby) and feel for moisture.

You can take it off, and it wont't lose any fluid, if the bike is level..put a block under the kickstand, check and feel well
