You should have the screwed together valve covers, like the VL, and it is possible to replace the rubber seals without lifting the cylinders. Originally the parts book showed these seals as strips with angled ends which were easier to install but less reliable, so you may be able to improvise something along these lines. Also check the problem is with the seals, and not some oiling or breathing issue, with leaking oil the symptom.
