Default TC88 Top Rocker Box Replace

Hi all,
I have my 2000 Road King that has suffered the typical dulling and chrome flaking thats associated with the SE Florida atmosphere.
I want to replace only the top rocker boxes, but looking for a simple bolt off/bolt on as I do not intend to mess with anything lower, such as rocker arms,pushrods.
Is the top box cover a simple remove/replace or does it get deeper than that...Again, I do not want to replace the bottom rocker...ony the top chrome rocker covers that have suppered peeling.
Thx

6 bolts on each and a gasket and very easy to do even with the tank on.

Now the lower boxes is a different story as then you need to remove breathers, rockers and pushrods.

I had mine off to fix an oil leak...pretty simple job. I used James gaskets and they worked very well.
