I had a side cover come off a buddy's bike while I was going down the highway once. It landed on the footpeg and the wind made it start flapping back and forth between the bike and my leg. Scared the hell out of me, I'm riding along at 70mph and something started tapping my ankle. -Kyle On Thu,

Lucky you! I think I may pick up a couple of these shutter bullet catches, see if they fix my missing posts on my own side panels. I've been rocking a half-naked look from day one. Kurt On Oct 20, 2011 9:24 AM, "Dave" wrote: I actually didn't know it fell off, my dad was following in his truck

I actually didn't know it fell off, my dad was following in his truck and saw it fly off, stopped, picked it up, and had it for me when we got to our destination. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To view this d

Here is a youtube video of making repair on ABS. (BTW epoxy doesn't stick to ABS well and will separate). http://youtu.be/j4RECGjEOnE and another on how to build a missing part like a mounting post. http://youtu.be/P9DrfxHy2GU links to plasitc repair Plastex: http://www.plastex.net/index.php?pr=

Did a little searching: seems the part we want might just be a shutter part, not a cabinet part. Google "shutter bullet catch" and the piece that screws onto the wall looks like just the thing we need... -Kurt On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 1:32 PM, Kyle Munz wrote: > Magnet or otherwise a lanyard so

Really like the strong magnet idea. Might be the simplest to do. It could also be tethered with a short wire cable for extra safety should it bounce loose. On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 12:52 PM, Kyle Munz wrote: > I've thought about glassing a strong magnet onto the inside of the side > cover myself

I think I know what you're talking about, Bill; those should still be available. I'd have to go take a look at my local hardware store, but you might just have answered my question of how to fix my own 750 panels... -Kurt On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 12:14 PM, Bill Sandifer wrote: > Amazing that yo

Amazing that you found the cover. I once had a large sailboat hatch slider blow off while trailering. Spent hours looking and never found it. With a little minor engineering you can use brass round-top screws (the kind that were used to secure cabinet doors in spring receptacles) to replace the sho
