RE: chrome side covers !
My battery (left side) is a replacement for the original, I am not sure about the Oil Tank side, never tried to remove it. The covers were already on it when I got the bike....

I could be wrong here but I think the chrome oil tankcover just goes over the orig. black tank(on my '03 anyway) and the battery chrome cover just goes over the bare battery (which in my case doesn't have a cover at all). It hasjust the battery strap and a black cover that goes on the top.

I just replaced both covers (not shown in picture) with painted ones to match the tank & fenders. Ordered from Chicago HD. They were full replacement covers. Easy to install.

Dan, it appears on the year of the bike. 04+ the covers on both sides get completely replaced, not covered. On 03-, the battery cover is a cover, the oil tank cover isa cover, and the ignition cover is a replacement.

RE: chrome side covers !
Dan, they are full covers. But you might want to do a search for some better prices. A year ago when I got both sides for my 06 it was $130 for both. Ifyour dealeris wanting $100 apiece then I think you can find a better price elsewhere. Ebay, Zanotti's, etc...
