Primary Cover Gasket & Seal Kit
for 1966-1984 Harley Shovelhead –Softail & Dyna
Pkg of 1 kit – Part# 38141fmK
(Ref. OEM 60538-81 and 60540-65)
This gasket kit includes all the gaskets, seals and O-rings shown in the photo.
The primary cover gasket is Foamet – rubber on both sides of a steel core – as shown in the photo. It will come to you perfectly flat. We never fold, roll or otherwise allow any gasket to get damaged in shipping.
The inspection cover gasket is also foamet, rubber on steel core. This kind of gasket is always easy to install – just put it in place, screw on the cover and it works!
The oil seal included is the one you will need for the inner primary cover.
Two O-rings are in this kit – you need only one of them. The groove for the Inner Primary O-ring was made deeper from Late 1982, so you will want to install the thicker O-ring if you have one of the latest model Shovels. (Go by the groove depth more than the model year.)
If you prefer a Silicone Beaded primary gasket – we also have this same kit with the primary cover gasket fully beaded on one side – and at a very low price! Please see another one of our listings or ask us.
Our products are brand new and made to high standards to meet or exceed OEM specifications.
