 +1957-1967 XLs had the solid bar cam cover. ((Monte03 of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​p=1284165#​post1284165)) \\ 
 +1968-1970 had the finned looking cam cover. \\ 
 +You can interchange the covers if you are not concerned about the look of a stocker for your year bike (better resale trying to stay stock). 
 +Also be aware that some covers had the round cut out for the electric starter XLH that came out in 1967. \\ 
 +You can slap a cover on and wing it, BUT the proper way is to have the cover line reamed when the motor is apart. \\ 
 +(so the cam cover and the right case half are a match in tolerances. \\

 +52-78 cover had only one breather port at 6:00. ((Dr Dick of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=1845601&​page=2)) \\
