On request from a member regarding right side cover on the bike I'II try to explain how I did it.
Pic 1. I used a -03 RK side cover. The first I had to do was to cut out a bit at the bottom, because of the original oil tank (a little wider at the bottom)
Pic 2. I also had to make hole for the oil filler and the mount for rear crash bar on the frame at the top.
Pic 3. I used some cardboard to formwork where I wanted to have it, I used tape to fasten the cardboard. So shake the box with building foam and fill up.
Pic 4.So off with the cardboard and use a knife to take most of the foam of and use a rough file at the end before sanding it a little to the end, till you got the
right shape before the fiber glass.
Pic 5. I used cardboard to get the right shape for the Crash B, when I shall use the fiber glass. And measure carefully where the hole for the oil filler will be, I
Pic 6. used a toilet roll to get the right hole and used tape to fasten it. If you should fail, don't worry, fix it with fiber glass.
When you have come so long it's time with fiber glass where you shall have it, AND REMEMBER, SAND EVERYWHERE YOU SHALL HAVE FIBER GLASS,
BOTH OUTSIDE AND INSIDE.
Pic 7-8 Hopefully you will end up like this :-)
Pic 9-10. On the bike like this. And hopefully this will help someone :-)
Use some oil on the rubber at the oil filler, It will go easier on, it's tight. At the bottom use the original mount for the side cover. You can mark the hole
from inside the bike, look and you'll know what I mean. Per-ř
