    side cover from my GSX1100E
    Needs fixing and I am wanting to know if anyone has a clue on how to fix the broken tabs.

    Hell anyone know of a second hand set of side covers?
    Tank bracket?

    Looking to get it to standard... its done 33k.
    cheers

    I cheated & put a button head capscrew right through on my 11 & it looked ok.

    super glue + baking soda can be used to build up broken parts
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Or build it up using Araldite. Dremmel to shape when set hard. This worked for the locking tabs on the visor clips on an old AGV helmet.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I take it the clip/spigot would be were the cross's are you can use a flat head screw and body filler to make the desired shape etc and glue/fix it to the side cover.

    bugger..is all I can say.
    missed out.

    got a tail unit coming from the UK is painted purple but otherwise straight... all the tabs are mint.
    No idea on shipping cost, using the NZ post shipping option where you get the UK dealer send it to a UK address and then NZpost send you a bill to get it to NZ.

    I've done it a few times so far and its heaps cheaper.

    They have USA and UK mail addresses.

    Side coverers in gold you can still bye new.
    carbs are off getting re built ... update soon.
