About This Product

For early Big Twin owners, this James Gaskets 9-hole primary cover gasket offers a significant upgrade over stock materials. It is constructed from .062 inch thick Foamet, which uses an aluminium core with nitrile rubber foam bonded to both sides, finished with a silicone bead for maximum sealing integrity. This robust design is perfect for preventing primary leaks on older machines. It fits 1965 to 1988 Big Twin models, excluding FLT Touring and FXR models. This gasket replaces OEM numbers 60538-81, 60538-81E, and 60539-86.

Manufacturer part number: 60538-81-CF.
