Will a primary cover from a 2002 soft tail deuce fit my 2002 Super Glide FXD? a buddy has a chrome one he will give me to replace my polished (not so polished anymore) aluminum one.

 

I'm about 80% sure that will work ... I don't think those years' Softail primary covers had a cast cover over the chain tensioner inspection hole (where the mid-control shifter shaft came through) ... so, I think you could use your cover .... You still running mid's or went to forward controls ...?

Not a 100%, but pretty sure ....

i switched to forward controls. But i still have the shaft. I just covered it with the little chrome cap so I can go back to mids if I ever want.

 

it will work, same covers.

 

cool that will save me some $! Thanks guys.

 

2002 softail had an inspection cover.
although so should a 2002 dyna.
I've never known them to be interchangeable.
Softails and dynas are 2 different beasts.

 

you need part # 60543-99B

fits 99-05 dyna and 99-06 softails.

you will need your inspection cover though for the shift shaft

 

I was thinking that they would be interchangeable, because when I was investigating the purchase of my belt drive primary the part for those years (as referenced by HDTech74) were the same P/N for both Softail and Dynas ....

Just wasn't sure if there might have been a slight difference in the bolt pattern or the inspection cover on the primary covers ... think maybe that came later ....

Once again thanks guys. The cover is now on the bike and fits just fine. They are the same cover.
