    I just checked my side cover stash, and I do have a left side cover for an 80-81 Special. I'll take $35, S&H included.

          Man! That IS a steal!

          Wish we had been that lucky when we were looking for a side cover...
          Andreas charged $50 for the side I bought (wanted $60 from John for the same cover)... but that was before he REALLY came down on his prices... Timing is EVERYthing...
          and I thought $35 was a good deal...

          Good find

                Kim, have you tried rapairing the broken tab? I've had good results using 1/8" acrylic and some good CA glue or polyurethane adhesives to repair broken tabs. Here's some photos with a ruler included to guide you for shape and dimension:

                  Speaking of side covers, I need one for my '79 Specia. Color and lack of badge not a problem.

                  Old bikers never die, they're just out of sight!

                  My recently re-built, hopped up '79 Special caught fire and burned everything from the top of the engine up: gas tank, wiring, seat, & melted my windshield all over the front of the bike. Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
                  I've been riding since 1959.
