What was the failure mechanism? Something we should be aware of?
It's broken vertically at the right margin of the pretty center portion where it meets the structural part that is covered by the right side cover.
I have had a couple of wires that come from the front of the bike to the battery box/side cover area tucked in where the center cover clears the frame tube on the RH side. I guess they were enough of a fulcrum over time and +/- 50K miles to stress the ABS past the breaking point.
do you mean the timing belt cover?
No, Steve. I actually have a spare one of
those...
I don't have one, but there is a black one on Ebay from Pinwall.
Thanks, Victor. I saw that one and passed.
Not many have the skill to remove and break it without breaking off the tabs. Impressive. I wonder if you put your request out on the Natl board if you might find one...
Don't you mean the
other National Board, Gary???
Actually, I have been contacted off-board from both outside and inside the Republic of Texas. Thanks, guys. You know who you are.
especially if you mention that you have a room full of parts to trade hoard/stockpile.
There, I fixed it for you!
Shhhhhh!
What? Did someone say something?
I bought a fresh can of All-Purpose cement (ABS, PVC, etc) today and will attempt a repair with it and some polyester cloth. If that attempt fails, I'll reenter the market.
