    Need a Right side cover for a 80G

        The 1980 SG uses round posts for the upper side panel cover mounts on both right and left side, the 1979 SF uses slotted/rectangular shaped mounts and the two years are not interchangeable.

          OK, let's sort this out ...

          The OP is looking for the right sidecover for a 1980G, a Standard.

          Any of the following right sidecovers will fit perfectly:

          1980 G
          1981 H
          1979 SF (The shape and size of the SF right cover is identical to the G and H right covers, including the slots; the only difference is the emblem)

            So for a guy looking at a pile of side covers, it needs to be tapered to the rear and slotted or post mount?

              In order to fit a G with no mods ...

              Yes, the right cover needs to have a slight downward taper toward the rear.

              And, it should have mounting slots, not the round holes.

              Another way to identify a SF/G/H right side cover is the extra reveal line extending around the sides and bottom.

              And, of course, if you see any sidecovers in your pile with a tab on top, those won't fit the G.

              They only fit the 78-79 Standards. And they don't have the taper or the extra reveal line anyway.

              Hope that helps ...

                Sorry, meant to include a pic in my last post.

                Here it is (this is an SF right sidecover):



                And, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, G and H right side covers will be identical to this, except for the emblem.

                    If you find one, do yourself a favor, and buy one of these, http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/ya...%20Numbers%207, since the covers are getting harder to come by, and nobody seems to turn the found ones in to the lost and found.
                    I bought two at the local Yamaha dealer, so it is still a stocked item.

                        Thanks! I did pick up a grommet at the hardware store before I lost the cover.. I bought a cover on evilbay and added some heat shrink the post so it doesn't come off as easy.
