Default Chrome carb cover
Hi all...question...I want to replace my stock carb cover with a HD chrome one (01 fatboy)...Is this just 4 screws. I mean little springs and valves are not going to be popping out at me or anything? Not much of a mech but trying to learn...Thanks

just remove the carb an inch and replace the top but dont pinch the diaphram. you must pull the top straight up as not to bend the needle. i replace mine on the sportster but it was not worth it because it could hardly be seen.
