VPC question
I'm thinking about getting a AIM VPC 84T for my bike, and I have a question about the derby cover.
I read on their website that the stock cover works fine, but any other cover needs spacers. I have the HD Skull cover and would like to know if anyone else who has that cover and a VPC had to use a spacer or not.
Thanks,
Steve

Look around on there site Steve they used to have a page that showed which ones would work, I think it was in their install instructions section.
I found it, here you go Steve! I have the 84T. I got mine from abnmarine. I love mine! What other changes are you thinking of this winter?

I know it says to use a 1/4" spacer, but I don't think I'm going to like how that looks.
My winter plans are maybe the VPC, change the fork oil, change the rear shock oil, and maybe do the bushings for the swingarm. After that when I need tires again, I want to do the wheel bearings.

I don't think I'd like the spacer either Steve.

I had to use a spacer with my VPC on my 04 with the commemorative police derby cover, so you will have to use one with yours. The OE is concave slightly on the inside. The accessory ones are flatter.
FWIW, I used a black spacer on the chrome cover and chrome primary cover to break it up. I also used the pre-cut derby disc gasket.

If I go with the VPC over the winter I'll just have to use a spacer and see how it looks.
Right now I'm still looking for work............so accessory purchases are very minimal right now.

I have the VPC on a 2007 Street Glide with skull derby cover. I used the spacer available with the VPC. The spacer blends well with the cover. Unless you look closely you never would notice it. If you look closely at the attached picture you can see the spacer. I've been very pleased with the clutch. Got it from Hippo on this forum.
