The left side is more vulnerable to 'at rest' tipovers, maybe????

Oops! - that wasn't supposed to happen  :icon_redface:

I only realised recently that a PO has made a nice neat job of the infill panels on mine, I thought this was standard up until then, but they've done a good job, especially the stainless mesh behind the holes, they blend in nicely with the side panels :icon_cool:

My one failed at the screw mount points. My theory is that the left one gets the most chemical attack from petrol overspill, cleaning, and anything else that may drain across it when left on side stand. The face of the panel where it screws to the airbox has the look and feel of plastic that has hardened and become brittle. Just a few thoughts...

Also it is in the way of the petcock so has to be removed when you take the tank off.

Ram, look what I found in the darker recesses of the loft!



One has a tab missing...


Sin, hopefully your package has arrived at Sin-tiger Castle.  Can you let me know as if not I will chase Yodel.
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Once SWMBO gets back from her pilgrimage to The Rovers Return I'll let you know, I'm still roving around.
