Default Tappet block cover

I just bought the tappet block chrome cover today for my 05 1200C. Just to make sure, when I loosen the bolts to attach the mounting hardware nothing will come out like oil? Is this a simple bolt on project or is there more to this than it appears? Any help would be appeciated.

Simple bolt on....

READ the instructions first and then do a dry run....

If they are like the BT's, the Left side piece and the interface are a real PITA if you don't pay attention...
