Default Powdercoat Primary Cover

Well, dropped off the primary cover from my 09 XBNZ to get powdercoated gloss black, to match the rest of the left side of the scoot. Thought it would be a 12-20 minute job to drain fluid and remove, but didn't realize that you have to loosen the floorboard support bracket in order to get one of the long bolts holding the left side of the primary out. The support bracket bolts must have been put on with enough locktite to choke a horse, and the lower right one is in an inconvenient spot, so that I had a real concern I would strip it trying to crack it loose. Finally got it. Should go back together easy enough. Will post pix when it's done.
