'87-'06 Fitment

Function-Formed 5-Speed Hydraulic Side Covers Are Back! We’ve officially resurrected the original Function-Formed (FF) Hydraulic Side Covers for stock 5-Speed and BAKER transmissions. The Hydraulic Side Covers was one of the first parts in the FF product line. We took away all the ‘fat’ of the standard aftermarket side cover and left the function. The true art of any mechanical part is the function. The parts that make it happen, that do the work and yield the results. We sucked the side cover up to the bearing door as much as possible by utilizing aerospace-derived hydraulic ball plugs, that enabled the bleeder screw and feed line ports to be right next to the gasket surface. We even put the conventional transmission dipstick on a diet. Precision-machined from 6061-T6 billet right here in our Haslett, Michigan, machine shop, these side covers are as strong as they are sleek. The result is the tidiest design possible, yielding the strength necessary to get the job done, and a smooth surface finish to match.

Features

Machined 6061-T6 Side Covers tuck tighter to the transmission than the stock cable-style side covers
Compact hydraulic line routing enabling the banjo fitting to be on the front of the transmission
Compatible with Stock H-D 5 Speeds, BAKER OD6, DD6, DD5 Transmissions or any other transmission that uses a stock equivalent mechanical cable-style side cover
System designed to offer the same amount of adjustability at the hand control and engagement point as the stock mechanical clutch cable

Technical

Compactly designed and packaged dipstick sneaks into the side cover assembly. Yields the standard functionality, while maintaining as small a footprint as possible
Utilizes the stock mechanical center rod assembly. Enabling the adjustment you want at the clutch lever, as well as being compatible with all types of clutches available on the market
Steel 1.5″ diameter piston rides on high-grade .125″ thick Buna N O-Rings. Delivers the smooth engagement throughout the stroke of the lever, as well as the durability against the transmission fluid and silicone-based brake fluid used in today’s hydraulic clutch systems
By using 5/32″ diameter stainless steel, aerospace-derived, ball plugs in conjunction with some crafty precision machining, the fluid can be routed to the outside of the piston, while the banjo fitting remains right near the gasket surface

Fitment: 1987-1999 Softail, Dyna, & FXR, 2000-2006 Softail, 2000-2005 Dyna, BAKER DD5, DD6, and OD6. 1993-2006 Touring Models*
