Chrome Tappet/Lifter Block Accent Cover for Harley Twin Cam 00-16 Dyna FLHX FLHR

First thing I'd do before you even start is take the screw off the mounting bracket and head to the hardware store. Pickup a 1 inch replacement (metric). Getting the back screws off of the push rod tubes is fun, be careful not to round out the holes. Mount the bracket. Peel off the white double sided tape and replace it with 3M half inch wide stuff. Double it up if it's not thick enough. Line up the screw hole and blue lock tite the screw. Get it started then set the cover in place. Only snug the screw up to the cover. Don't tighten it down or you'll have gaps on the opposite edge (front). The lock tite will hold the screw in place. Other than these little details, it looks good on my 2014 ultra limited.

The “K” name version of this is like 90 bucks. For this price I wasnt expecting much. The chrome seems decent and the part is made of metal. If you are a decent fabricator/mechanic you shouldn’t have a problem.The bolts you have to remove from the tappet blocks can be tricky if you dont have a good set of tools.I had a large air filter housing in the way, so I removed it before starting. The mounting bracket for this needs to be tweaked a bit to make this thing lay straight with no gap. Go slow and adjust in small amounts until you get it where it needs to be. Once fitment is correct, make sure you clean the top of the engine case where the tape sticks VERY well. Use denatured alcohol and make sure its dry. Rub the tape with your thumb briskly before you remove the paper exposing the adhesive. Heat will activate it a little better. Then, stick it on and bolt then press firmly for a minute or so to get it to adhere. Bottom line well worth the dollars vs. the 90 dollar name brand. People having an issue getting it to fit or worried about scratching other chrome may have been doing something wrong, this thing just lays right in the gap and doesnt touch any other chrome.

Seems to be good quality chrome and good steel. Trick to install is to equally tighten the bracket to the lifter block after you loosely fit the cover bolt on. Trying to fit the bracket will be to no avail and you will want to bend and grind to try and make it fit. No need to do that. Be patient and it adjusts itself as you equally snug the lifter block bolts. Got this to cover some blistering texture on block between lifters.

Looks good nice chrome piece , more chrome is always better

Ultimately, I was able to slightly dremel the edge in a spot to fit but added 30lb double sided gorilla tape for extra security. The chrome has held up significantly better than the fit had me concerned. Chances are, if you own and actually ride a Harley-Davidson you’re basically expecting imperfections from aftermarket accessory makers by now and you’ll like it just fine.

This part looks good. I can say this thing was a pain the a$$ to put on. The back bolts are difficult to get to. I recommend cutting the tabs and sliding the mount in place. I am mechanically inclined and I struggled with the back bolts.

It fit just fine and so far no rust or tarnish has appeared.

Once I got it and figure out bbn how install it i was surprised of how it looked and feels great job
