do these fit the K model?

Postby K Daddy » Wed Jan 23, 2019 10:56 am

The tappet covers are rusty on my '52 K model.
I see some listed by "the good old motorcycle parts company" in New Jersey.
They are "Colony 2717-20 Harley Davidson 1942-73 45's valve spring cover kit, cad plated."
I hesitate to clean and paint my rusty ones since they are sliding surfaces. Paint will be immediately scratched off.
Can anyone tell me if this kit will fit the K model?

No, you need Colony kit 3057-4. In my opinion, use the originals. Remove the rust with a non acid rust remover like Rust 911 or bead blast and then have them cad plated. Make sure you remove all the rust because it will reappear if you don't.

VERY FEW 1936 to 1969 45" W parts will fit a 45" K.
