ahirsch Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks for quick reply! Those threads deal with a different model year maybe? My cover is held on with one post and two plastic "blades" that attach to the bottom of the cover. One of the plastic "blades" is broken. Thanks Link to comment
dirtrider Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Afternoon Andrew I should have checked a little closer. On the broken plastic tab?_ I repaired one of those on an 1100R with a little "L" shaped stainless steel tab & pop rivet in through the bottom of the cover. Couldn't see the repair with cover in place. Link to comment
ahirsch Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Good idea! I also just looked on parts fiche and discovered that I can buy that part for $2.97. Part number is 05 52 53 2 313 447 SUPPORT LEFT Link to comment
Tri750 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 You are most likely looking at the gray rubber like sleeves that go over the tabs. They prevent vibration noise. The tabs are cast in to the plastic and are not replaceable except by do it yourself repairs such as the one already mentioned. Link to comment
