Secure your motorcycle\u2019s electrical side covers with a factory-style hardware upgrade designed to replace the older rubber compression nuts and bolts used on many later-model Big Dog motorcycles. The Big Dog Electrical Side Cover Pin Kit provides new push pins and grommets that help hold the side covers in place while making routine removal and reinstallation more convenient.<\/p>\n

Purchase Big Dog Electrical Side Cover Pin Kit – 2005-18<\/a><\/h3>\n

The original compression-style mounting hardware could place unwanted stress around the side cover mounting holes. Over time, repeated tightening, vibration, or improper installation could contribute to cracked or damaged cover openings. This replacement pin system was issued through a factory service bulletin as an updated solution for motorcycles equipped with the affected side cover design.<\/p>\n

The kit includes the side cover push pins and matching grommets needed to convert compatible covers to the later mounting arrangement. According to the factory product information, the components provide universal fitment for Big Dog Motorcycle side covers used from 2005 through 2011. Owners should inspect their motorcycle, side cover style, mounting holes, and existing hardware before installation because individual models or previously replaced covers may have different configurations.<\/p>\n

Installation typically involves removing the existing rubber compression nuts and bolts, inspecting the side cover holes for cracks or distortion, and fitting the new grommets and pins in the correct locations. Avoid forcing an oversized pin through a tight or damaged opening. Carefully confirm the hole diameter and alignment before pressing the hardware into place. A small amount of appropriate rubber-safe lubricant may help seat a grommet, but excessive lubricant can reduce retention. The cover should fit securely without requiring heavy pressure or bending.<\/p>\n

Using genuine replacement hardware helps preserve the fit, appearance, and serviceability of your motorcycle. The Big Dog Electrical Side Cover Pin Kit – 2005-18<\/a> is a practical choice when restoring damaged mounting hardware, installing replacement side covers, or updating an older compression fastener setup.<\/p>\n

For additional factory-supported components, maintenance items, and restoration hardware, explore the complete selection of OEM Big Dog Parts<\/a>. Choosing parts developed for Big Dog motorcycles can help maintain proper compatibility and reduce the uncertainty associated with adapting generic hardware.<\/p>\n

Inspect the mounting system periodically during regular service. Replace worn grommets, loose pins, or damaged covers before they create vibration or allow a panel to detach. Properly installed side cover hardware helps protect the electrical tray area while keeping the motorcycle\u2019s exterior clean, secure, and ready for the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
