These lower side covers are like a pair of socks. Once people take them off and then decide to put them back on the left one is almost always missing.
The few that are out there are so overpriced that it makes buying a $5. piece of ABS and building one much more realistic. Plus you made it yourself!

I scored one on eBay the other day in d a package deal I'm going to use it as a template to try to make one for the opposite side
Most people don't know this but you can buy Loctite brand ABS plastic epoxy you can do repairs saddlebags fairings side covers. If something is cracked drill a small holea atthe end of the crack to stop the crack. Then use a Dremel tool 2 make a v-notch down the crack clean with isopropyl alcohol and fill with epoxy a fingertip wet with alcohol will allow you You to smooth out the epoxy before it cures this will reduce sanding I even had fiberglass coloring agent too closely match the the color I guess we can make one using this epoxy and a ABS.
