HSATF Member Posts: 20 05/24/07 8:38 AM	Tags : None I just received a set of Show chrome side covers for my 98 T. The right cover (lock side) does not seem to fit. I can't get the pegs lined up to the grommets. It almost appears that the cover is too flat. Anyone else have experience with these chrome side covers? Republic Cycle indicated that they had success on 99 and newer but the item is listed as 98 and newer. They have agreed to take them back if they won't work but I did want to check out this forum to see if anyone had experience with these. Cointoken Last Edited By: Cointoken 05/24/07 5:04 PM.

I bought mine used and so I took a heat gun and heated the lower part with the bottom peg and bent it outward or put more curve in it. It fits now but it wrinkled the chrome plating under there. You have to bend down to see it, so I use them. If I had bought them new I would send them back and try another set. Rick The "BIKE" is why we came, The "PEOPLE" is why we stay!

Apparently the right cover had gotten slightly flattened in shipping and after a few days came back to it's original shape. BTW, the Guys at Republic Cycle were great to deal with. Really prompt service and follow up. CHROME IS GOOD!

HSATF Member Posts: 20 06/01/07 3:39 PM	I guess they were packed a bit too tight in the shipping box and the one on top got a bit warped. Since I tried installing within 5 minutes of opening the box the right one had not had a chance to "remember" it's correct shape. I not only added the chrome side covers I also just installed the chrome radiator grill from JC Whitney. I think they look great but just after I installed them I called my wife into the garage and asked her what she thought and her reply was "about what"? Can you imagine the trouble I would be in if she came home with a new hair style and responded the same way? I will try to take a few shots this weekend and post under members bikes. Cointoken
