I wanted to do the billy boy but they say ot wont fit a late model twin cam. What did you have to do to make that one fit?
Fabricated a steel adapter ring to mount it. Here's an older thread where
you can see pictures of what some others did (primo rivera aluminum adapter ring)
that is similar....
The EMD Billy Boy was what I was going to originally use, but as you've
found out, it doesn't work on '07+ models. I emailed EMD and was informed
that they have no plans to make it fit on the newer models. They suggested
the ribbed primary cover. Personal opinion, but the ribbed is not my taste.
WRT the Billy Boy, I do not know of anyone that has 'made it fit' the newer '07+
models.
