Side cover doesn't fit

(1/3) > >>

DomP:
Can any one throw any light on why my right side cover doesn't fit my bike? I'll upload a photo but the last lug is nowhere near fitting the cutout in the frame, doesn't appear bent or welded.

DomP:
Some pics

Oddjob:
Could be a couple of reasons.

Firstly there is supposed to be a grommet inside the frame lug.

Secondly, there is a slim possibility that you have either a K3 frame which used different lugs or maybe the side panel is off the F2 and the F1 and F2 frame lugs were different?

DomP:
Yeah the gromet disintegrated,  the other side fits fine

Could it be that my cover is distorted, its got a heavy layer of fibreglass on the inside presumably to strengthen a repair.
