Default Primary inspections Cover
So feeling kinda stupid here, but I am trying to remove my primary cover and I cant get the inspection cover off. There are no visible screws and I can seem to pry it off. What am I missing here. This is on an 05 Night Train

If it doesn't have this ^^^^^


You may have an aftermarket primary cover assembly.

Yep, definitely does not look like that, wish it did would make things way easier if it was, Ha ha ha. I found it there were two tiny hex head screws buried in one of the cover bevels. I thought it was my starter clutch and jackshaft that was giving me issues, but turns out the jackass shop that I had work on my bike last time didnt bend the locking tab over and the bolt worked itself out. Not a happy F-ing Camper
