Side cover questions

[JohnnyV]

Will any other model side covers fit on my 82 GS750T? Id like to avoid buying them new. Thanks

The '82 part number (47110-45900-019) for the right side cover is superseded by a part number that also fits the '83 GS750T (47111-45900). It should be still available from the dealer for about $65... Same deal with the left cover.

The side covers are all differant by model and sometimes year, you should chase ebay auctions for a deal but I ended up buying from an on-line store. Here is one of many stores, use the pictures to positively identify your part and most of these stores dont tell you the shipping untill you go through thier check out.

Still too pricy for my ol girl. I need a used set I can paint. Actually Im considering adapting to 77 gs550e covers since I have a spare frame to rob mounts off of. Thanks for the replies.
