Are you still making and selling these pins I bought from you? Mine are holding up great. I’d like to get 4 more to repair the broken-off pins on the panels on my kid’s dirt bike.

I found some pins off of another piece of plastic, and thought, cut down, they could make great posts. I cut them down to size, and made a little dam around them (around 1") in diameter with the post in the center, dam was made of tape., filled it with J-B-Weld, and put the post in the position I had marked for it. It has lasted 5 years so far. The J-B Weld really grabs the plastic, it leaked a little under the dam, but I think that strengthened it. Anything plastic that will fit and wedge tightly into the hole will work.

I found Andrew’s eBay listing.
3D printed to OEM shape with 100% fill for strength and from ABS plastic to allow for to easy bonding to the ABS Suzuki covers with regular house plumbing black ABS glue. This will make them easier to remove and help prevent braking your OEM ones.
These worked perfectly so I’ll get as many is I need for the kid’s bike and probably work on it over the winter. That and some paper models which I’m sad to say have gone untouched for over 6 months. Too busy for all these hobbies.Rich

Yet another piece of the puzzle I am working on. I ordered a side cover that was missing the post, I didn't catch that when I ordered it. anyways I find one on Ebay a guy is printing and it turns out he is a member. Thanks Andrew for the post, I will put up some pics soon. Any idea on the proper length for a 1979 850?

Andrew’s posts come longer than needed. If you have an intact post on the other panel you can get the length from that. The pins and ABS Cement repair I did 4 years ago are still holding strong.Rich

Created these flat side posts based on a request. Get I touch if something like this could be helpful for your bike. This was for a e1100. More pics avail but seem to be limited to one attachment per post.
