Put vents in LH side cover to match generator cover and to ensure enough cooling air to Fiat regulator mounted behind it
Finally scored some Red Wing Hammerhead shocks for my tracker. I used the top rubber bushing from my cheapo Mikes shocks and had to spread the bottom mount brackets a tad but they fit really well. Now I might just have to address a little chain rub on the swingarm. That’s on my radar for now, but I’m happy with the addition to this project.

I was out finally on both my bikes today! Great weather and bikes runs really good finally!! . Roads are still crappy and hopefully they start patching the potholes soon. Both my bikes are ready to go! View attachment 140291
Nice! It’s been a long winter for you guys. Pretty hot here already, gotta get out early!
Inspiration to vent my generator cover came from Willis's avatar - see #5347 above - I decided to use fine stainless mesh rather than the perforated sheet he used, but same concept. Sure, it's more cosmetic than functional, but I think it meshes well with the overall look of our 650's.I like that! Very custom looking!
Glad you like the look; it's just too labor-intensive, plus requires a framework behind it fabbed from flat bar stock and attached to the sides of the battery box that holds the sidecovers on. I did the latter several years ago after replacing the stock airboxes with Uni-filters, so it's been a sequential process. Still have to vent my RH side cover.Love it. If you ever consider making and selling them, please let me know!
