    Side cover tabs - anyone do a 3D print file of one?

    Anyone make a 3D or CAD file of a side cover tab?

    My side cover is missing a tab. Thinking of printing one and reattaching with ABS glue. Should be compatible.

    I'm thinking printing it sideways so the layers go from base to point/tip so less likely to pull apart.

    Another idea is I can make a silicone mold off the other side, fill the mold with ABS glue and wait for it to congeal and then glue that on to the missing side.

    Any other ideas/thoughts?

    1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
    1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice

    Hey Andy.

    This thread has some good discussion on repairing side panels.

    This is pretty self-explanatory I think...

      I purchased this kit through Amazon. Repaired / reattached a 'ready to fall off' tab on my GS 1100E and made an impression of one good tab to make / attach in essentially 1 step a tab that was missing. The kit comes with all necessary accoutrements, chemicals etc. per description. Enough to mold and make and attach dozens of tabs. 100 Percent satisfaction here.
