Lost Art

Barrels turned and hexed, X motor mount (Perewitz?). . . and that custom cast primary cover.  First, I thought it was an XLH cover all smoothed out, but they only have 3 screws - unless they machined and countersunk extra screw locations for the XLCH case 1/2?  Huh?  Lots of work on this one.  I don't believe hex head cap screws are a good way to bolt down cylinders, but who knows . . .
I love modified "stock" parts.

The primary cover is a Magnuson "Smoothie" cover. It was shaped just like Magnuson's Sporty "Collector Series" primary cover, without the H-D "oakleaf" emblem, and the filigree on the front part of the cover. Hence the model name "Smoothie". They were $55.00...HA!Try and get one for that now.....

I've been searching for ages for shots of Magnuson's finned covers but can't find em anywhere, saw one once on a pan out here, it was bloody stunning . . . great shot of the legend club too, one whole bunch of hard man, good stuff Noot.
