Default TIMER COVER REPLACEMENT

[sm=biker2.gif][sm=biker2.gif]HOW DO I REPLACE THE STOCK TIMER COVER WITH THE FLAMES HD COVER, WHEN IT IS RIVOTED ON? I AM AFRAID IF I DRILL THE OLD RIVOTS THAT PART OF THEM MAY FALL IN THE BLOCK.

They are not rivets. They are torx screws.

When I saw your initial post, I was thinking you had a newer model for some reason. I have never wrenched on a 2000 Sporty, so I guess I can't answer your question. Did it come with instructions? Do you have a service manual?

I did this a year or so ago. Go ahead and drill them out. There is actually another cover behind the outer one. HD provides special rivets to replace the cover. Standard rivets,when installed, could break off the little "ball" inside. HDs won't.
But, like I said, there is another "real" cover behind the outer cosmetic one.

Oh, and, by the way, I do wear reading glasses, but your text size is readable from the other side of the room!
