I just changed mine out to gloss black.

 

Quick update.... my gloss black primary cover FINALLY arrived!!!! I ordered it 3 months ago. HUGE back-order! I almost cancelled the order several times, but decided to wait it out since I already paid for it. Now, I need to decide if I'll tackle the job myself or just have the dealership do it. I'll post pics when it's finished.

 

I saw you just received your covers...thought I'd throw mine in for reference, even though it's all wrinkle black. The clutch cover and points cover are all wrinkle black now also.
Which reminds me...I need to get some updated pics!

 

did all my covers in wrinkle black matches the engine cases perfect

 

Jaburg -

FWIW, I replaced my stock primary with a wrinkle black one myself. Drained the oil, removed the derby cover, removed left floorboard, removed stock primary and gasket. Fought a little with aligning new primary gasket and primary cover. Bolted new cover back on, replaced stock parts and filled with primary oil.

I only had to borrow a torque wrench from the neighbor to make sure I had the correct torque on each bolt. Bought a Service Manual and it showed me step by step how to do all of the above with minimal tools.

Hope this helps.

 

It does help, and thank you! I have the service manual, a torque wrench, and the allen sockets to fit, so I'll start in on it early Saturday morning. I'm stopping at the dealership tonight after work to pick it up, along with a derby and primary gasket. This'll make a huge difference in looks on the left side of the bike.

 

Very cool! Mine took about that long to come in too. When you deploy your side stand from now on, make sure you're not hitting the primary with your boot. Took some getting used to but I haven't hit it yet. My stock cover had a coule scratches because of that.
