Inner primary cover question
I have a 2002 Night Train. The outer primary cover has the oval removable cover like a Dyna, is there a way to tell if the inner primary cover has the hole in it like the Dyna has so that you can feed the gear shift linkage through. I'm asking because I would like to mid controls on but if need to replace the inner primary cover I may forgo this mod for now.
Thanks for any input/idea's

Don't know the answer to your question, but this may help from one who has gone before you.

Remove the outer primary and you should be able to see the boss in the casting.

I removed the inner primary not only for drilling and inserting the new bush but also to be able to install the Dyna Mid controls linkage.
I used a drill press but it almost ended in disaster!
Mines a budget entry machine and unfortunately it suffers with a lot of chuck runout and drilled oversize and I couldn't use the new HD Bush.
With the inner and outer primary covers off the bike I bolted them back together and inserted a drill bit through the outer primary to correctly mark and pilot drill the inner cover.

Forgot to mention the drilling in the inner primary cover is deep enough to accept 2 x bushes (one at either end). The extra bush ensures selector shaft will fit like a glove with no radial play.
