My painter is really pushing me to get my S3 parts to him ASAP so he can paint them while it's still his slow time of the year.

Problem is that both of my sidecovers are damaged beyond repair.

Wasn't there a place that had reproduced all of the 1970s triple covers? Maier or someplace?

There are a few examples on eBay but they're perfect and expensive. My guy is just going to re-spray them anyway.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dean,

Diablo has them for $135 for the pair. I suspect that even good clean used covers would cost that much. http://www.diablocycle.com/Kawasaki-S1-S3-KH-Side-Panel-Set.html

And because they're plastic, alot of the used ones could be cracked at one or more of the push pin mounts, which usually can't be repaired strong enough for a permanent fix (maybe JB Weld...?).

Z1 enterprises also sells them, they might get to you faster !!
For anyone else looking Z1 sells them individually as Diablo sells as a pair..
