Show Chrome, Wingstuff, etc., has accessories that should fit.

Saw the problem right off. Dealer screwed up 2 of them putting battery in. Made them give me a bunch of them when I went back the next day. Said Honda wanted 5 bucks a peace for them. I checked after market bike store and they sold them for a few bucks a bag. Not sure if the same. They are unusually shaped. Had several diff ones and would not work.

The ones I notice have the worst time are the ones directly under the seat. I can get the panels on maybe 1/2 the time with out them being messed up when I take said panel off.

"To where?" I asked.

Concerning the right panel (I never open the left one), I tried to put some glue  on the upper grommet but it didn't work. So I changed the way I put the right cover back in place : first with the left hand the two grommets on the left side of the cover and finally the one on the right with the right hand. And the whole $&@€§ stays in place  Evil

Lost two down behind where the L passenger peg mounts, had to undo foot pegs and two other bolts and they dropped on the floor.  That was a relief! I think I will only deal with them when I have to and with the seat off.  I wonder what the cost of this bike would be if bought in parts.   2funny

Panel going on, no problem. Pulling off, problem everytime! I believe the problem is that I have to pull the panel out and down to clear the seat. The tab grabs and pulls the grommet out. Minor annoyance, since I rarely pull the cover. crazy2
