For guys with limited mechanical experience I'm not to tell you how it can be pulled off without doing the pushrods , it can be done and is by higher end mech's but can screw stuff up if not done exactly correct . For the average garage guy follow the advice given in here already it's sound .

 

I would use steel adjustables, had an aluminum one go **** up on me this summer!

 

The adjustable rods certainly seem to be the way to go. They would be nice to have in the event I wanted to change cams. I have told some if you have enough mechanical abilities to masterbate you can do it. THIS doesn`t sound to be one of them. bseg Ummm More reading and cking things and learning now BG Thanks Y`all WP

 

Yes on right side as you sit on the bike. In the parts pics I `ve looked up I`ll have to content with the cam bushing to get this part changed to chrome. Thanks WP

Bro Murphy gets a slice of everyone's *** sooner or later so I feel you believe me had my go rounds with him too .

 

Use a thin silver steel rod or similar to lift the cam end so that it lines up and the cover slides on....make sure none of the valves are fully open and it can be done.

 

Make sure they are "ez install" pushrods. There are lots of adjustable pushrods out there that still require you to remove heads. The ez installs will save you that hassle.

 

Have decieded to wait on changing the cover till I tear the bike down for paint. Thats schudeled for Nov - Dec I`ll have more time to work at rather than getting in a hurry as I`m known to do. We ride almost year round here and I have another bike I just like having both ready if family or friends come for a visit. If ya have time would you please give me an idea where to position the steel rod? Thanks I do appreicate the help WP

 

Had picked up on a differance in looking at some sites. Do you have a brand you would use? Thanks for input I` do appreicate it WP
