6. Operating Information
The Kuryakyn Louvered Transmission Covers are primarily aesthetic and protective. Their main operational feature is the integrated dipstick access.

7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your chrome transmission covers:
- Cleaning: Clean the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive chrome cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the covers for any signs of damage, loose fasteners, or corrosion. Tighten any loose screws as necessary.
- Protection: Apply a quality chrome polish or wax to protect the finish from environmental elements.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Kuryakyn Louvered Transmission Covers, consider the following:
- Loose Fit: Ensure all screws are tightened properly. If the cover still feels loose, re-check the installation steps and confirm all components are correctly seated.
- Scratches/Dull Finish: Use a high-quality chrome polish to restore shine. For deep scratches, professional re-chroming may be required.
- Difficulty with Dipstick Access: Ensure the dipstick cap assembly is correctly installed and not cross-threaded.
