Topic: Chrome for starter (Read 7974 times)

AUSSIE_FLSTFSE · « **on:** November 10, 2005, 05:02:41 PM »

All I want is 2 small pieces of Chrome someone must do them. 2 end caps for starter & solenoid. If HD do the complete starter in chrome (31559-99) surely you could get the end caps? Does any one have any Ideas or am I being too difficult? Should I just be getting my stock ones chromed?

Perhaps they're available as service replacement parts. Hit the parts counter and ask to see an exploded view of the chromed starter. Then see if the pieces can be ordered by themselves.

Why didn't I think of that? (no need to answer that)

Thanks Twolane

Somwhere in these threads was the answer to the starter problem. Can man and I were working on these same issues, its wild to see you guys doing the same mods.

The high performance starter used on these bikes are made by Nippondenso, and the cover I used is a DS-325197 from Drag Specialties

Thanx Reo,
Did you also get a solenoid cover or do your pipes cover the solenoid.

My pipes don't cover the solenoid, the solenoid cover is not very noticable due to its location but had to go chrome. I used the 31783-00 harley version.

Here's a pic of my bike whith the chrome starter cover and solenoid cover. The picture doesn't really show the solenoid cover good but without the chrome cover the black cover didn't look good to me contrasting in the red and chrome area.

Yeah, 'er 'uh, reo,
What's up, man? Good to see you on the Site! How's Jack? Back to business, does your Bike have the same starter as an Ultra? If so, he could purchase the end cap and cover for an Ultra. Later--HUBBARD

Things are good HUBBARD.

Jack had a recent job change but he's ok. He told me he missed you in Florida.

I've been told the starter is different, the end cap I posted earlier works and more importantly looks good.

Thanks reo.....

Hello everyone - 1st post on the board. I have been lurking for about a week now.

I just tried ordering the DS-325197 starter end cover from my local stealer and they told me it was discontinued. I called Drag and confirmed this myself. Has anyone found an alterative chrome end cap?

Being that this part has just recently been discontinued I would think you can find one of these still available. Use google.com and type in DS-325197, then confirm online if they still have one in stock. The starter used on these bikes is a Nipondenso requiring a different end cap from the standard starters used.

Just did a search online and found a company in Texas ( http://www.competitionmotorcycle.com ) that said he can definitely still get me one, so I ordered it from them and we will see.

That sounds a bit strange to me I ordered 1 from drag specialties on the 25th Nov, no problem I know they shipped it on 29th Nov, expect it to turn up any day now.

After my local stealer told me it was discontinued, I called directly to Drag and they confirmed this for me. I did order it from Competition Motorcycle and I am still waiting for it to arrive.

WOO HOO!!!!! - It just came via UPS.

Now I have a question for reo (or anyone else that may know) can I install the new starter end cap (DS-325197) without pulling the old end cap off of the starter? It looks like you just remove the 2 existing inner screws and mount the spacers - cover & longer screws, but I don't want to loosen the existing screws only to find out they are holding brushes or something else in place.

Pifemaster · « **Reply #15 on:** December 01, 2005, 07:15:42 PM »

OK - So I am an impatient person. But I was able to answer my own question. I just went out and removed the 2 inner phillips head screws and installed the new cover. For anyone else that is planning on installing one of these covers, it is very simple. You can remove the existing screws without worrying about anything else coming loose. I just put a drop of blue loctite on the new screws when I installed them.

Rob,
Do you see the need for the chrome solineoid cover? I thought I could get away with just the chrome starter cover. [smiley=confused5.gif]

I did also change the solenoid end cover (it only cost me $15.25). It is not very noticable especially since I also have the Kuryakyn oil line cover (p/n 8223KU) that helps hide the solenoid cover even more than the stock setup.
