RE: chrome inner primary
Given you have the right tools, the job is a piece O cake.
You need a couple O big scokets and a compressor with an impact driver to loosen/tighten the main drive bolt & clutch-hub.
I just pulled my primary to rebuild my transmission - and afterward my Dad mentioned going to the chrome inner on his Ultrac Classic. We're looking at about 2-hours worth of 'real' work time...and a good portion of that is getting the footboards off. The actual inner primary swap takes about an hour.
I would tell you, if you are not afaid of doing the job - save the 3-hours H-D is going to charge you in labor and do it yourself.

RE: chrome inner primary
If you get the HD version it has all the seals, bushings, etc on it. It is a direct replacement. The only way it would leak is if the person putting it on screwed it up, it should not leak anymore then the one you have on.
I am doing mine this weekend. When you see a chrome inner (not chrome cover) you know someone worked hard to put it on. I wouldn't consider it a simple chrome bolt-on. This is not knocking you guys with the cover, if you like it thats all that counts.
just my .02

I went w/H-D's inner....just didn't like the looks of the Kury on my buddies Road King. He loved it, which is great. LOL.
No leaks/issues here & I caught it on sale, 15% off & my indy did the install. Good luck & ride safe, Tow.

+1, I dont think they look bad at all.

I put the Kury chrome inner primary cover on mine and I honestly like the look of it. You get the look without the expense and running the risk of the leaking you speak of. Just my .02.
Like all mods, some folks like them..........others don't.
