Question

Is it easy to replace a harley derby cover? If so, what is needed?

Answer 1

Yup.  Allen wrench and new gasket or O-ring.

Answer 2

If you have a tourer, you will have to remove the passenger floorboard.

Good luck....Don't hurt yourself.

Answer 3

Uh A screwdriver !! And a gasket if you tear the old one

Answer 4

Allen bolts?? O-ring???

Mine has screws and a cork gasket just like it did when it left the Beer town.

Answer 5

A gasket and what ever tool it takes to fit the fasteners.

Answer 6

yeah for sure.  just take the screws out and it'll come off.  hold the bike upright or you'll lose primary fluid.  there is a rubber o-ring, wipe that off and inspect it, replace if needed, and s***w the new cover on.  very very easy job

Answer 7

Very easy job however I would definitley go to HD and purchase a replacement O ring. As soon as YOu did the work that necessitated you opening up the Derby cover , discard the old O ring and replace it with a new one. THis is cheap insurance and will insure that there are no leaks when installation is complete. I would suggest that no gasket/o-rings ever be re-used reagrdless of what material they are made out of..Have fun and good luck
