    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Lost my battery cover

First ride, and the battery cover is gone. :(

Gonna go out tomorrow morning to retrace my steps and see if I can find it, but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyone have any luck on ebay or anywhere else? I've only found left covers on there so far.
 
Check Fleabay or the parts wanted section here. I would suggest replacing the grommets that hold it to the frame, as well

+1 on the new gromets.
The gromets are probably why you lost the cover (assuming the cover was infact inplace all the way).

My experice is that the side cover over the battery/fuses is less avaialbe used on Ebay (and higher bids) than are the cover on the other side. I figure cause that cover is taken off more and set aside and then lost or broken, or cames off after haveing not been put back on all the way.

This guy has had them crop up quite regularly over here in Aus, but not sure what the postage would be like:

I used to ride with him but haven't been in contact for years, seems a reasonable enough fellow if a little pricey at times.

Unfortunately the "L" doesn't have gromets on the right side

Only a single one on the bottom of the left side, Witch surprisingly holds well :rolleyes:

On the Right side there are two hangers on the top and the only thing holding it on is a drum with a key slot that you turn to lock it in place.

Spring pressure holding the drum in the lock position is the only thing holding it on.


We are talking about an 82 gs 450l, are we Mike? I'm just going by your sig.
