Still haven't found the right cover. I looked at custom, but can't really tell how they would turn out. Has anyone gone custom on theirs? Where did you go? Were they able to provide you a "mock up" image prior to purchase?

That is 1 area I haven't used a drop of loctite or torque. Just snug everything up good.
It's not under pressure and the oil just splashes around behind the gasket, no need to get crazy. I've been using the same flat gasket since the first oil change.

Simple. If you take the cover off with the bike on the jiffy stand you may loose a little oil. Have someone hold the bike up or put a small block under the jiffy stand. I have heard horror stories about the torx screws stripping out trying to loosen the cover screws. I used an impact driver, no problems whatsoever. You will probably want to replace the gasket also.
