    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.

I have been dealing with side covers with crippled mounting posts in one way or another for the past 20 years. I have been thinking about just buying a set of new covers. Are these available, and if so who has the best price.
 
I don't believe they are available new. Over the past 7 years I've bought or sold about a dozen; I've settled down with two matching pairs.

If you keep searching, you may encounter a pair with the original posts. The chance that they'll be in your color with the proper decals is not so great.
 
I have it all apart right now about to paint it. That means I probably wont find any until I am finished painting, LOL. I have thought about machining some aluminum posts and tig welding them to some sheet aluminum that matches the contour of the inside of the cover. That would give a large surface area for epoxy to hold the base plates on that have the posts welded to them. Still new covers would be great.
 
They are showing the Right side new on Suzukipartsmonster &, I think, Partzilla, looks like $85 & $94. Normally if not available there will be no price shown. Left side seems to be unavialable.

Parts Outlaw shows both sides as available new. Almost $100 each but you can get them!
 
I think I am going to probably have to get them. Thanks for the help.
 
Just a note. The new covers are black/charcoal color, and they are not painted.
