I've been thinking of doing this mod for a while, but haven't heard / seen anyone else with it. I really want to get rid of the circle indent in the stock cover... it just looks too much like a Harley for me.

So does the standard 'Bonneville clutch side cover' fit an America?

It's the same engine.

It should fit with no problems.

Thats my thought, my may concern was whether the clutch mechanism could be swapped from one to the other...has anyone done this mod? any pictures?

SO I got the clutch cover, colour disclosed until finished install sorry!
Now I have a few queries, that I presume the answers are easy but I just wanted to check with you - better mechanics than me!



1. The bonneville crank breather pipe - why doesn't the Speedmaster/ America have this? also what do you suggest is the easiest way to remove?

2. The clutch mechanism cover that fits the bonneville cover - see mount holes - again why doesn't our bikes have this? will it be a problem if I don't install one?

3. The cover inside the America cover near crank - what does it do?
