Front load washer and SYN 3 :D (porthole covers installed)
 
Hey guys, just want to share a few pics and videos.
I just got done inspecting comp sprocket nut and changing the primary fluid on my bike
along with new Custom Chrome port-hole derby and inspection covers. I wish they make one for the Cam/timing cover. (The RSD clarity line is too expensive for me, but seriously thinking of getting their cam cover soon as I save up some cash.)
Anyway, here are the links to the videos
and a few pics:

Hey, do those serve a purpose or is it just a "looks" thing? I am asking not to be a smart azz, I am asking because I don't know. I don't think they are for me but I can see where they have a place in the custom market. I also see what you mean about the points cover, it needs something over there to match up. Are those of a material that is shatter proof? I would hate to see one of those catch a rock for you while your out and 100 miles from home. Different, thats for sure.

Interesting, kind of like watching your clothes go round in the washing machine...

Tbone, they've been around for years even before (Roland Sands) RSD came out with their clarity line.
I had em on my springer a few years ago, I believe they're made of lexan or polycarbonate. The only downside is when your primary fluid gets filthy, it will show.
For me, It's a way to keep an eye on your primary :) I want to do the same thing to my cam cover so I can keep an eye on my chain tensioner.

I think it's a cool idea, not really for me, but I do think it's pretty neat.

Cool, thanks for the comments.
I know there are a few members here running the same covers.
I wonder if they've ever had any issues with them?
Ride safe!

Hey I think it looks cool and is a great way to keep up on maintenance and an eye on chain tension. Now you need to get in your back pocket and upgrade the clutch to something fancy like a lockup or anodized pressure plate. Gota support the bling

Thanks, I thought about the VP clutch like AIM, but nor sure if it would fit or might need a spacer. Need to save up so I can get the clarity cam cover :)

I've got to do the cam cover to and I've got gear drive cams and no tensioners. Just does a heart good to see that amsoil rolling around in there. They are pretty proud of them though but look like a quality piece and I've had good luck with PM products in the past. The little round cover that used to house the timer looks retarded,in my book anyway, cause there's nothing in there anymore.
