transmission cover expertise needed
the transmission cover on my 98 fxdl is all pitted. i need to remove it anyway to install the EZ pull cluth ramps. i dont really like the ribs in the cover but according to "the book", my options are limited.
while cruising the web - the descriptions for the aftermarket transmission covers appear to include more contemporary dates - like up to 2006? could it be so? does anyone know if i can use the transmission covers from any of the TC motors or am i religated to the EVO ribs?
thx - tin

On a former bike with an EVO, the OEM cover was clear coated aluminum that was turning yellow. I bought a nice shiny aftermarket chrome replacement and guess what--the dipstick interfered with the clutch cable to the point where the clutch cable sawed the dipstick clear through. What a mess.

Bolt pattern and gasket might be different also

I bought crap from these guys before…. But you can also see what’s out there for fun.
