Sportster Engine & Primary Covers

Engine & Primary Covers for the air-cooled Harley-Davidson Sportster, '57-'22. The visible outside of the motor, and the cheapest way to change how a bike looks without touching a moving part.

What Is In This Collection

Derby, inspection, primary, cam and rocker box covers, plus horn covers, timing plugs, ignition and trim pieces and the gaskets, seals and fasteners that fit them, for the Sportster.

Sportster Fitment

Sportster covers '57-'22 - XL883, XL1200, Iron, Forty-Eight, Roadster and Nightster. The air-cooled XL is cable throttle. The liquid-cooled RH Sportster is a different motorcycle and does not share these parts - see RH Sportster.

Years that change what fits:

2004 - the Sportster moved to a rubber-mounted frame, which changes a great deal of chassis hardware.
2007 - fuel injection replaced the carburetor across the range.

Before You Order

Covers are cut for a specific motor family and, for derby and primary covers, a specific primary cover shape - Evo, Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight are all different, and a five-hole and a three-hole derby cover are not interchangeable. Most covers need a new gasket or O-ring on refitting, which is a cheap part to add to the order and an annoying one to be without with the cover already off.
