Harley Davidson "Derby Cover"

A "Derby Cover" is basically a dust cover. It's on the left side of your bike and covers the business end of your clutch. It's the larger cover with (usually) 4-6 screws holding it in place. However my '85 Sportster has no screws in the "Derby Cover". Instead there's a two inch (2") screw-cap in the center of my "Derby Cover" with a large closed slot in the center. That's it! there are no other screws holding it in place.

Why do they call it a derby cover?

A derby cover is named for its resemblance to a derby hat, as both are rounded and have a similar shape. In motorcycle terminology, particularly for Harley-Davidson bikes, the derby cover is the decorative cover on the primary drive, where the clutch and primary chain are housed. It not only serves a functional purpose by protecting internal components but also allows for customization, reflecting the rider's style. The term "derby" itself is a nod to the classic hat, emphasizing the aesthetic aspect of the cover.
