About this product
OVERVIEW
This chrome ribbed battery cover kit restores factory styling while protecting the underlying battery compartment on classic Harley-Davidson FLH models. The assembly delivers a complete cosmic enhancement by combining a flat top cover, a textured ribbed side panel, and a retention strap into one OEM-style replacement unit. Crafted from durable chrome-plated metal with stainless steel hardware, this kit provides a reliable upgrade specifically designed for 1970–1984 FLH touring motorcycles.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
The paired-cover architecture ventilates the battery bay while deflecting road grit, salt spray, and water pooling. The chrome-plated surfaces resist accelerated corrosion and maintain their reflectivity under sustained exhaust heat. Bonded with a high-tensile stainless steel strap, the assembly resists harmonic loosening and keeps the panels locked flush against the frame rails during aggressive riding. This direct-mount layout removes custom fabrication, allowing installers to swap the damaged units in place using factory attachment points.

WHY HARLEY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS
Vintage FLH owners select this kit because it reproduces the precise mold line and mirror finish of early production runs without requiring filler work or sanding. The juxtaposition of a slick chrome crown against a ribbed side panel delivers a grounded, period-correct look that tolerates frequent detailing and coastal weather exposure. A true stainless steel retainer prevents the common failure mode of stretched or bent springs, ensuring the covers remain sealed against wind noise and loose wiring. By unifying structural retention with accurate period styling, this cover ensemble keeps classic frames ready for weekend rides and museum display alike.
