  • Side covers

    Looking for side covers for an SG
    Do covers for specials of other years fit how about the midnight specials?

    IIRC, all 80-81 Specials including Midnight are the same, just the emblems may differ.
    2H7 (79) owned since '89
    3H3 owned since '06

      80 and 81 share the same side covers for ALL special models, but those are the only ones that will work with an SG short of significant modification of the side covers at a minimum.

        Yep, i can confirm that the 80 SG, LG and the 81 SH, and LH share the same side covers with the exception of emblems. I have only owned 81 SH models, but have had SG and LG side covers on one of them. Even took the LG emblems off of the right side cover that was broken and moved them to a repainted SG side cover for use on my SH. See the final pics of Banshee project.

        When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

          So the only ones that are different are the SF model.
          Thanks for clearing that up for me.

            Which except for the top mounting points, are the same as the 80 and 81 standard side covers.
