you shouldn't do any thing to that poor bike if you cant figure out how to remove the side covers.

Maybe you shouldn't post if you can't type, either.

Not having side covers on a bike berfore,just wanted to play it safe, with a forum like this, ya get good quickanswers (for the most part).

They say there is no such thing as a stupid question.

But come on people, this isn't rocket science, circular error theory, or brain surgery.

Just be carefull once you pull them off - I dropped one of mine and sure enough it the floor paint side. All that plastic stuff scatches very easy.

RE: Side Cover Removal

a very thin screwdriver between the frame just below the seat and upper cover pin will help because the back 2 come off easy, that top front one is hard to get your stubby fingers under the cover, so pry it out without scratching anything.

Nothing like a simple question with simple answers to bring out the douche bags.
