Just did the narrow primary in gloss black and slip assist clutch upgrade on my 2015, nice upgrade I thought something was wrong at first as the clunk engaging 1st went away completely.

I found a new take off narrow primary from a dealer that pulled off a showroom bike and was going to put on an open primary I think. With the derby cover, like brand new. $150 just have to buy the gasket.

You can reuse the gasket, just clean it and check it for tears. I have reuse them many times without a leak, use a torque wrench and follow the tighten procedure in the manual.

Narrow primary bikes go faster. Less wind resistance and weight. It's true, I read it on the Internet :-)
