Default Inner Primary

Does anyone know who or if someone makes an inner primary with a upper plug? In Chrome?
I have a inner in chrome now. It would be nice if one was made with a upper fill plug.

Shouldn't be too hard to get a hole tapped in there by a good metal shop and use a chrome oil drain plug.

No that shouldn't be too hard. I like to keep my chrome where it is though.

Never heard of an inner or outer with a fill plug. Why are you needing one? Do you have a leak? Derby cover is a huge fill point or on pre 07 even the chain inspection port. I always adjust my clutch when I change the oil so the derby is already off. If you really gota have it and want the chrome perfect I think your only option will be to buy a new inner W/O chrome have it machined and then get it chromed. That chrome inner really made a difference on my other bike.

Can get a chrome outer primary cover with inspection plate like the older TC's from Baker. Called Bully, lot of moolah though!! Baker also sells a retro fit chain tensioner that can be adjusted to replace the auto tensioner.

You know what I mean Dawg.
Thanks for the info.
Maybe I will find a chrome company and make one.
