The rivets are loose and the cover is rattling away. I'm going to put new rivets in but manual says they are specific, special HD rivets. Really, are they? | ||

The special HD rivets are made with unobtainium | ||

Special HD rivets = $$ There is no reason to use them, I used standard rivets on my X1. | ||

The holes in the timing plate are just right to thread with a 10/32 tap. I used some stainless allen heads to fix my old school tuber Pegasus cover, painted to match the cases of my XB 12SR, Lil' Blackie.  | ||

I thought the problem with the standard pop rivets is that they could pop the head into the crank sensor area. I just tap mine for screws if I have it apart. | ||

You can purchase this: http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/A9017.html Or tap it yourself with a 10-24 tap and some screws from Lowes or Home Depot. | ||

#10-32 screws unless the rivets were loose long enough to wreck the holes. | ||

any XL Sportster cover fits I have a OLD #7 Jack cover on One of mine. I just tapped the holes and put in screws that came with the derby. #10 screws with a little blue lock-tight. | ||

Yep on the 10-32 size.  |
