Description
This is a brand new old stock (NOS), factory-sealed vintage Chrome Specialties steel battery top cover box lid (Part No. 300032). Intact inside its original legacy retail bag with the authentic Fort Worth tracking sticker label, this high-grade steel component has never been bolted down, exposed to battery acid, or scratched.
Stamped from premium cold-rolled heavy-gauge steel, this lid features rolled outer edge safety profiles and a deep, mirror-bright legacy chrome finish. It is a direct drop-in replacement or high-end restoration upgrade designed to replace rusted, missing, or painted original equipment battery lids. Because this part comes from Chrome Specialties' early production catalog, the steel density and plating lifespan significantly outperform modern thin-gauge imported reproductions. It is an absolute necessity for finishing off a period-correct Ironhead Sportster build, AMF-era FX chopper project, or vintage hardtail rebuild.
- Condition: Brand New Old Stock (NOS) / Unopened Factory Sealed
-
Inclusions: Single chrome steel kickstart battery top cover with its original retail packaging card.
Fitment
Verified factory architecture provides direct bolt-on fitment for 1970–1978 Harley-Davidson Super Glide and Sportster Models equipped with manual kickstart only frameworks and compact horseshoe-style battery boxes:
- Shovelhead Super Glide (1971–1978): FX, FXE, FXS Low Rider (Kickstart configurations running standard short battery cradles).
-
Ironhead Sportster (1970–1978): XLCH 1000 (Magneto/kickstart setups without large electric starters).
Fitment Status: Verified exact hardware match.
- Mechanic Notes: Formed strictly to span the specialized dimensions of the early small-footprint kickstart battery layouts. It will not fit electric-start models (such as the FLH series, standard electric-start XLH Sportsters, or later FXE platforms) which utilize substantially larger-capacity battery sizes.
