Left side cover on 1300r
« on: March 31, 2013, 05:32:01 PM »
Out riding with wife and my left cover flew off... Covers tool pouch area. I was able to retrieve it but when trying to put it back on... Noticed one of the rubber gaskets is missing and it's loose.  Any ideas on where to find a replacement? Cover is very loose and afraid it will blow off again at highway speeds.

You can get one of the grommets from any dealership. I have replaced a few of mine already.

There are the front ones and then a rear one that the back tab goes through. I also had mine come off and I need to get the back one. Seems that pulling off and on when plugging in the cable for the Battery Tender has worn it out.
I was calling around for them yesterday neither Cycle Center Denton or Honda Suzuki North have them. Both said if I order tomorrow they will be in by Friday.

What I did was glue them to the cover. I may not solve the problem, but it helps.
