07 FLHX Derby cover/outer primary sizes??
So Ive been slowly switching over my covers to Willie G skull covers, it was time to do the Primary oil so I picked up the Derby cover and went to work. Upon attempting to put the cover on, it became very obvious that it was the wrong size. when I went back to double check the box, it indicated that it fit 07-later touring and trike models with a narrow profile outer primary. I cant find anything indicating that different primary's were used during that year but I also know 07 was an odd year due to the 6 speed transmission transition. Are there 2 primary sizes? more maybe? and how do I tell.

There are two primary width narrow and the normal aka wide. Your 07 is 99% most Likely a normal wide one.Wide is was most common until around 2015 you started see them on Low models and then they became standard on 2016 Touring . The Narrow Primary has a larger derby/primary cover..
The cover for the Narrow primary is 8 inches
The cover for the Narrow primary is 8 inches

Thanks for the info Smitty901, thats more than I got with hours of web searching. I would have just checked the service manual but its on a shelf that was just walled off by boxes of my kids stuff whom we just sent off to Army basic training, so I appreciate your help!
