I had originally looked up the part # 60685-07A on Kutters HD's site and this came up but the guy couldnt confirm that it was the right one so I purchased it from Hales HD. When I went back and looked up the part at cutters the part # had already changed to 60553-07A. It was amazing how fast everything changed. Even on HD's main site it was there and then gone/changed in the same day

Hmmm.... Then what's that 60685-07A cast in there mean?

And also, from these pics, it looks as if the only thing cast in are positioning ribs for that piece of plastic! Is anyone SURE that nothing has to be glued into the new "A" primary revision? 

The only reason I would buy it is to eliminate that piece of plastic!

I'm with ya on that one!!

My thought was just the opposite Ken.  That in the "chicken or the egg" part of the question the primary cover came first then it was used as a mold for the plastic piece which is then used to retrofit the older covers.  Just a guess but that was my impression.

Well, it looks to me that the primary in these pics is the OLD primary - not the new one with the cast-in oil guides for the new compensator, that does not need that piece of plastic glued into it.

I would like to see a pic of the new primary. He someone gets one soon and will post a pic of how the oil guide looks that is cast into it.

That plastic piece will not fit in that space. I was just holding it there so as to show that its the same size and height as the casting. If you have the new primary you definitely DO NOT need anything else. Plastic wouldn't fit even if you tried. I placed that plastic in my OLD primary and it fit perfectly

Those pictures he posted were of my NEW primary.
Here are pics of the stok 2009 primary I took off. You can see that the new casting is not there

Another better shot sorry, new at this

Now that I look back over the picture with you holding the plastic piece, I can now see the casting lip in the new cover.
Thanks, Looks like the new cover is the way to go.... I am going to wait for a while to hear how this new comp is holding up before I dive in and replace everything.
Thanks again for the pictures.

AHHHHH... Light bulb finally came on! Thanks very much for clearing up my misunderstanding. When it's time to replace my comp... hopefully not for awhile... I will definitely get the new primary.

I just glued the plastic part inside my Primary. I don't see any issues with it staying. The way Harley presented the Glue really sucks it should have contained the Applicator for the caulking gun, I used 2 1/4 inch sockets like GMR did. You could probably glue 6 pieces with the same glue kits.(Kit came with 4 applicator tips.

As a side note to any of those folks that have not yet purchased their T70 Torx 1/2 drive bit yet.  Here is a good deal from NAPA Auto Parts.   

Part number 61-5470.  It is only $4.77 and its heavy duty impact rated too.   

And before anyone jumps in, yes I already know not to use an impact gun on this.

Later!

Thought you weren't supposed to use impact gun on the comp assembly

[jpb]

Hi Rooster,

Haven't spoke to you in a long time sime my stuck Baisley exhaust valves!

You can impact it loose but not to tighten.

The install went very well. No kickback on start-up and it ran very smooth. I'm so far glad I changed to the new style. The old one was rusty and had worn a indentation on the ramp. The new one should lubticate itself alot better.
