jimmyl Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Just bought a 07/08 rear silencer cover to replace my worn out cover on 05 4rt. All looks the same apart from the little bracket that hooks onto the tag at the rear of the silencer - problem is that there isn't one on the new one. Note sure if this is a mod on the later covers or whether it is missing. Anybody with a later bike could you let me know if the cover still clips on at the rear below the bolt. Before you ask I am putting on the later cover as it does not have the 4rt embossing which is where it has worn through. Any help appreciated.

windlestone Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 05 rear silencer is much thinner that 07/08 silencer The top edge of silencer cover is half as deep again think your new cover may foul your rear mudgaurd when you tighten it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 A slight snip around the mounting bracket and a couple of folds along the top edge to compensate for the thinner 05 silencer makes it fit spot on. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windlestone Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 could try putting some clear plastic, like technosel on the cover, mine is badly scratched from boots already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
