    good news on the dreaded left side cover lock

    So,I've been working with Yahman on him making me a lock that will work for my left side cover.I wanted it made of aluminum,not plastic,I wanted it to be functional,and to not stick out.Well,he came through in flying colors.It locks,small machine screw visible(that can easily be touched up with black paint)Took all of 15 minutes to install,and I believe it should last as long as the bike.Here's some pic's installed.

    This probably should be in the XS thread?

        Hint...hint...

        Might want to post some clearer pics so we can see your expert machine work in all its splendor.

        Wouldn't hurt sales either.

        Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

            Not my photos... Here's the ones I took. I'm in need of a good photo showing the attachment screw. On my prototype I used a bigger washer, so my photo of the cover on the bike is not like the new ones.

              Excellent machine work, as usual.

              Great pics too, I might add.

              Thanxs

              P.S. Maybe a black nylon bolt and washer instead of the shiny steel ones ?

                Thanks!

                Not all XS1100's are Black and I don't think the tensile strength of a nylon fastener would be up to the task. These are high quality Stainless Steel with a nice satin finish. The washer is just 7/16" in diameter, screw head and washer together are only 1/8" in height. They are small and not very noticeable. If you do want them to shine, all they need is a little polishing. Or apply a little touch-up paint to make them match your bikes color.
