    LOST - Virago XV750 SIDECOVER

    Black. RH side. Along Balmoral Rd, NW motorway, Te Atatu Rd. Tonight.

    Anyone spots it, give me a PM there's a good chap(ess)

    Poxy things. Never had this problem when they were made of cast iron and bolted on with decent 3/8 BSF bolts all round.

    i feel your pain! i lost one off the 500 the day i bought it. daily online hunts failed except for one on ebay, but id onsold the bike by then and the new owner couldnt work out how to use ebay. when i get time, im going to remove the ones on the 250, drill em and cable tie em to the frame. one is rather floppy and appears to have broken a rubber thingy-majig that holds it on.

    best of luck, sir.

    The last time I lost a side cover was on a SpeedTwin, and I made one out of papier mache. It worked very well, was still on the bike when I sold it.

    I think I will make a mould from the recovered one and see if I can make a spare, from papier mache or fibreglass.
