Mornin', can somebody please post a picture of a '78 xs11 LH side cover or failing that, can you tell me if it is a mirror of the RH? I have decided to forgo the losing of my mind trying to find one, and just fabricate one out of Aluminum and I can't even find a PIC of one of the elusive covers on the net. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!

It's a mirror image except for a tab that hangs down that has the lock catch on it; that's the part that always breaks (the lock catch)...

pics
Here is a pic of the left side on a 78E. I took 17 pictures for you, but I wont put them all on here. You can go to http://s285.photobucket.com/albums/ll77/Rasputin460/
to see all I took. I was going to email them to you but it would be a 7.5MB email so I figure this is easier.
