I took a little time to figure the best way to "loosen" the valve cover from the head since the adhesive used at the factory was doing a good job of holding the valve cover in place without the cover bolts
Thanks Larry. What did you finally find to be the best way to pop off the cover? Tapping it with a plastic mallet or such? Also, i assume the gasket cannot be put in the cylider head to refit the cover, eh? So what did you use for adhesive? Seems pretty simple, but then i've seen some real simple things become sorta complicated if you know what i mean. :-D I'll probably go for it soon. they should have included it on the SM since it's the highest $ twin. Guess they just wanted it to be totally blacked out.
