To prevent set screws from falling into the spark plug holes, start threading the set screws into the covers before placing them over the head bolts. Position cover on head bolt so that when spark plug wire is installed the set screw is hidden from view but accessible to a hex wrench. Do not tighten set screws on high points of bolts. |

CARE AND CLEANING GUIDELINES FOR BRASS PARTS
Cleaning Instructions
- Verify part is dry and free of dirt or debris.
- Place a small amount of Harley-Davidson® Chrome Clean & Shine on a microfiber cloth or detailing swab.
- Using light pressure, rub the brass parts with the microfiber cloth. For hard to reach places or grooves, use the detailing swab.
Obtaining a Bright Finish
Brass parts will naturally age and darken with time. If a bright brass finish is preferred, place some Harley-Davidson Bare Metal Polish on a microfiber cloth and lightly rub on the brass parts until they reach the desired brightness.
Slowing the Natural Aging Process
To slow the aging process of the brass parts, place a small amount of Harley-Davidson Glaze Poly Sealant on a microfiber cloth or detailing swab, and lightly rub on the parts until the sealant has soaked in.
Precautions
- Use of non-recommended cleaning, polishing and protective products will result in the removal of the aged finish from the brass parts.
- Prolonged contact with certain items (hands, gloves, boots, dust, etc.) and exposure to the elements will also alter all surface finishes and is NOT considered a defect.
- Avoid cleaning parts with abrasive and aggressive chemicals and abrasive cleaning pads.
- Avoid ammoniated products and bleach.
- Prolonged exposure to water will alter the brass finish. Wipe down parts after contact with water.
- Excess rubbing may lighten the surface appearance of the part.
