    1969 flh cam cover

    My swap meet cam cover for 69 flh doesn’t match the engine case very well. All screw holes match perfectly including the internals.part number on cover is 25218 65 . The cover seems to sit too low compared to the engine case. Is this normal ? Or do I have wrong year cover

    Does it fit the dowels, JC?...

    Then it it probably fits the case just fine.

    They were cast and produced separately.

        I had a 1969 FLH that I dearly loved, my 2nd best Harley, but I didn't like the gear cover at all; poorly conformed, and no character (unlike the Alcoa coves) like previous years. It is what it is and that is part of the charm for late year Pan/Shovels.

            I never liked the slab covers, the reason why I ran a '64 cover on my '65. Oh Wait, I didn't like Panheads either!!! scan0058.jpg
