Wanted to check experiences with the Clutch Lifter Arm Covers. While small, they dress up the bike nicely especially the Rivco ones with the Brit flag and the rubber cable guard.
They attach with two very small grub screws. Has anyone lost these covers? Any extra installation tips other than Loctite on the grub screws.

While I can't comment on the aftermarket ones I've never had a problem with the Triumph one(bought it before there were any other options). I haven't even put any locktite on it.

I’ve had mine on the bike for about 4 years now. Never had a problem with it. When I first put it on I used a little blue locktight on it, however I have had to remove it several times when I did some work on the bike and on those times I did not reuse the blue stuff. It’s still tight and still on the bike.

I've had no trouble with mine which I got from Brent, locktite did the trick... They certainly tidy up an ugly area...

I got a British Flag one from Brent about 2000mi ago. Just checked the bolts this weekend. Still tight. Makes that spot on the bike look real nice!
I go to parties, sometimes untill 4. It's hard to leave when you can't find the door.

I got the black fluted clutch lifter dressup kit along with the black clutch cable bracket. It looks great. I have had a few people ask me if it was stock. Actually it fits so well with the black Speedmaster motor, I usually forget that I have it.

I got the black one from brent awhile ago. I put it on per the directions- lock tite and all- and wasn't real happy with the way it fit, so I put some red RTV under it and it hasn't moved yet.
