I don't know, but my guess is yes. And don't be offended but man, I don't like the look one bit.

Depends on the quality of the lexan whether it will discolor or not. It certainly will end up with lots of oil and clutch particles.

I like that metal look, it looks like it would show signs of wear

I've had a Lexan "window" where the chain inspection cover is now for about 3 years. Has not discolored yet, but I use Mobile 1 4T oil in primary. Results may differ with differnent oils.

They will not discolor. Yamaha Banshee owners have been using them for years with good results.

Why can't Harley put the turning part in the center of the hole? Having to explain that 10000 times would be enough to not put it on, for me. At least the solid cover hides that gross error.
