primary style swap
I have a 1987 softail fxstc. The starter solenoid is separate from the starter and mounted on top of the inner primary. My inner primary cover (part number 60630-86A) is cracked and I am having a hard time finding one to purchase. I was recently told it was possible to convert my current setup to the 90's model setup where the solenoid is attached to the starter. I am trying to figure out if this is possible and what components I would need to change out to make it work. Any and all help and advice appreciated. Thank you

In addition to replacing the inner and outer primary covers with parts from `89 or later, you will also need to rework the transmission case.
The hole in the starter mounting ear on the transmission case must be bored out to a larger size to accommodate the `89 or later starter motor.
Sorry, don`t know what the dimension is.
