These covers by S&S are as close to original as you can get without stealing one from a factory museum bike. Externally authentic to the smallest detail, including cast-in or stamped part numbers and date codes, yet improved with new technology inside.
The covers are cast from 356-T6 aluminum and CNC-machined for a precise fit. Additional material has been added around the kicker boss for strength. A single shaft bushing with end seal is used for improved oiling.
The "G-6" cover has a casting date plate and a stamped in part#, just as the factory did it from 1940-1947; the "J7" cover also has the date plate and a raised cast-on part number, the way it was done from 1948-1951. Of course, both covers fit all 1936-1984 Big Twins in custom applications.

On kickstart-only bikes the starter mechanism should be inspected on a regular basis. The gears involved are prone to wear and if neglected will leave you stranded at the roadside sooner or later. Especially the starter gear bushing should be in good order because it will ruin your mainshaft quickly when it runs beyond tolerances and the gear starts to tumble. Since this bushing is critical and most products on the market do not meet the requirements by material and specs, the Wrecking Crew decided to have this part made in Germany. CNC machined from industrial red bronze to closest specs, with the correct oil groove and chamfer. This is the correct part - period. Press-in, ream to size, install and you are all set, with peace of mind.
