Been looking to retire my tired "live to ride, ride to live" accessories and ran across this "Flying Wheel Collection". Scored a air cleaner cover and points cover on eBay. It appears to be an obsolete part and is based off the tank design logo from the 1930's.
my questions:
Does anyone know anything else about them, like what years did HD offer this? Appears they only fit the Evo.
Is there a gas cap or derby cover too? (can't find with google)
Wow. Thanks ieatchickens I had no clue about them. I'm going to pick up a standard cover and put these on a shelf. Just in case I slide down the road anytime soon.
the "Flying Wheel" collection first appears in the 2000 P&A book ... they show up thru 2008 and are gone in the 2009 P&A book.
They were available for both the Evo and Twin Cam ...
Air Cleaner, Evo 29524-99 $164.95 ... Twin Cam, 29526-99 $149.95
Timing Cover, Evo 32563-99 $69.95 ... Twin Cam, 32559-99 $74.95
Derby Cover, Evo, 25769-99 $135.95 ... Twin Cam, 25770-99 #145.95
Timing cover, Derby Cover, & Air Cleaner are the only items I found listed
I have the complete collection on my Road King. I even took a timer cover and placed it on the round accessory horn cover. These covers sell for much more than they were new. The heritage springer folks love them.
