    Timing Chain Cover

    My timing chain cover has an area about the size of a quarter where the paint has been chipped off. I'm thinking about having it powder coated but I'd like to find another cover (preferably used) to have coated and then install it. I've googled used goldwing parts without any luck. Looking for ideas! I have found several chrome stick ons but that does not interest me. Got help? Thanks

    Go to color rite and get a can of paint and spray it that would be the easy way to go my friend.

    shortleg has it right. Get the ColorRite. Best match going. If yours is the matte gray, here's the one you want.

    Update - After removing the cover and inspecting it there are several areas that the paint seems to be bubbling and I decided to take it to the shop and have it powder coated. My guess is that it didn't get treated and cleaned before going to the paint booth at the factory so it's a $50 investment that I'm happy to make. I'll post after pictures when I get it back.Timing chain cover.JPGtiming chain cover edges.JPG

    I will save the info on Colorrite because I'm sure it will come in handy at some point. Do you get it from the dealer, on line, parts house or paint store? Thanks

    What hat was involved in removing the cover? Do you have to place a pan underneath to catch oil? Was there sealer that needed to be cleaned off?

    My cover is similar and each time I clean and inspect the cover, I find road debris from the front tire. Was thinking of replacing the cover and putting a fender extension on so it won’t happen again.

    Mine has looked the same from day one. It's something not seen easily but it came from the dealer that way. I too am interested in the removal process and how yours turns out.

    Hey, Joflewbyu2.... you might want to do a search of the forum for fender extensions. Several folks have experienced problems with them. Apparently the fender plastic is a little weak and the extensions tend to break the fender. That may not be the best way to go.

    Ride safe!
