side cover

[grifff]

Sorry i keep putting up this thread, but i really need a left side cover for a 80 1100 XS G. Tried ebay, classifieds, bike bone yards, and few fellow XS members. Can't find a cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This left cover mounts with the round holes. Been thinking about modifying the cover or the mounting slots. I really dont want to do this. If anyone has a cover out there that would fit let me know and price.

Guys, check out my post in the members lounge, on finding an 81 Midnight. I posted about some side covers there.

Hey, griff! You've probably already seen this, but if not check out John's 81Mns thread in the lounge. Sorry I couldn't find one for you. Mine's still nekkid on the left too. I'm gonna fab something out treadplate pretty soon. Found over a dozen XS's locally in the process, so the side cover quest wasn't a complete waste of time.

Left side cover

I needed a right side cover for my xs 11 sf. I bought a pair off ebay. I don't need the left side if anyone wants it. It doesn't have the logo on it and may need a paint job...but it's solid.

I have a left cover for a standard, no emblem. the cover has rectangular mounts. Later 'Dog

Hi,scalded dog! Only thing still re-usable from my side cover is the emblem. Sell price? Condition of keyed lower post ? Trade ?

[scalded dog]

tfm3, the cover don't have any cracks, just needs sanding and painting, the lock tab locks in place securely. I'll take $15, plus shipping, shipping is $5.50, make it an even $20. if you want it. Later 'Dog

PM coming at ya,dog. I love this forum! Hope I'm able to give some back someday. Griff, if you're still looking, I may have found your side cover [round holes, right?]. Lock tab was broken,though.

Don't worry about broken lock tabs, they can be repaired fairly easily. Using an unbroken one for a pattern, you can cut up some bits of 1/8" plexiglas, shape them, and use a cyanoacrylate glue to rebuild the tab. I did this to the broken locking tab on SWMBO's sidecover quite a number of years ago and it is still holding fine.

side cover

I'm still looking. I need one with the round holes, but not from a special. The special has diff shape and the top has a slight angle to it. I can try the cover out, and use the locking tab from the special or make one like Ken said.

It's on a shelf at a local boneyard-might have the I.D. tag on it,or there might be an '80G skeleton out back I can try fitting it to. Should be able to get over there by friday. You can call them up if you'd like-Tye's Recycle,Longmont, CO.303.678.5683. It's in the back of his shop across the aisle from an XS1100 motor in a box. He's told me I'm welcome to scavenge all I want but he doesn't want to be bothered with shipping. If this is your part I'll take care of that for you. Never talked price with him. Leave that part to you. Hope it works out!
