  • Panhead covers

    I know this should be in the 'Panhead' category but there are a lot of new post there today, and I didn't want to interfere with their inquiries.

    My question: Are there distinguishing characteristics that identify genuine early steel H-D panhead covers?

    I have a bunch of them, and they all look identical to me. This is for a 1948FL motor. General consensus says they should be chrome plated steel in '48. . . . ? Thanks

      All the covers that I have look the same, except for the material that they are made of. And they are all OEM. So, as for distinguishing marks? I say No. Also, Palmer's new book backs up your consensus that the '48 only were chrome plated steel.

          "Chromiest" I love that, Eric! You obviously went the scientific route!
