How to Install a Chrome Customizer Kit for a 2001 Sportster

There are a few dress up kits on the market, the most common being the "Harley Sportster Chrome Customizer Kit for 91-03 XL" marketed by Tedd Cycle, Inc. of Newburgh, New York. The companys word mark is V-Twin Manufacturing. All of these dress up kits cover engine components, like the primary cover, with a thin, chromed veneer so the motorcycle will look like those components have been disassembled and custom chromed. Your kit should include a veneer for the primary cover, cam cover, transmission cover and mounting hardware. These veneers tend to discolor and they may interfere with the radiation of engine heat. They go on in 20 minutes and they come off in 20 minutes, too.

Instructions

1

Fit the Chrome Customizer primary cover veneer over the Sportsters primary cover on the left side of the motorcycle. Daub red touch up paint on the primary cover bolt heads under the 5 bolt holes in the customizer kit veneer.

2

Remove the primary cover veneer. Remove only the bolts daubed with red paint with an Allen socket and a socket wrench or breaker bar.

3

Put the bolts you remove in a plastic sandwich bag and store them in a safe and memorable place because you may want to reinstall them.

4

Fit the chrome customizer kit veneer snugly over the outer primary cover. Fasten the veneer to the primary by replacing the original bolts you just removed with the slightly longer bolts included with your Chrome Customizer Kit.

5

Tighten the bolts only wrench tight with an Allen socket and a socket wrench.

6

Repeat exactly the same procedures with the cam cover and the transmission cover on the right side of the motorcycle.
