I'm thinking about replacing my chrome engine covers with either grey or black covers . If I buy grey ones , they'll be painted black , but anyway.... I had a friend tell me I couldn't just swap out cam covers with out shimming my cams to match the clearance of the new cam cover . In other words , this is not just a direct swap . Is that true ? Is every cam cover perfectly matched to it's particular engine ? I've never heard of that . ????

 

He's thinking "camplate" the cover is a bolt on.

 

I've never heard that either. I think it's BS

 

On a Sporty, he has a point, but not on a BT

 

Probably thinking evo. The camshaft outer bushing is part of the cam cover. Not so on a twinkie.

 

i have a spare cam cover where are u in pa?im just outside of philly if u need it

 

I'm about three hours away from Philly , near Altoona . Is it black , or grey ? How much $$$ ?

 

ya know, you could take the chrome covers off the bike and have em all powdercoated wrinkle black(or gloss or whatever). Very low cost this way over buying new covers.

 

I actually am considering that . But I hate the thought of down time . If I do that , it will be over the winter .

 

its silver ill take 25 shipped to your door it looks brand new it is a take off.
