thanks so much for info. No wonder I can't find anything. Should have got a driving lesson before I wrecked my sweet bike (sadly after only 6 days).I had my bike guy modify the original legshield to match the side i chipped in the crash, no so bad looking. Mike, since you know so much, I will ask the 1 million $$$ question, and if you cannot answer, I will post for the masses: I ripped my seat as well in the crash and want an original seat COVER, just COVER. Is that possible without buying the entire seat? I dislike the replicas. Where can I get one? I have only found OEM seats, not covers. thanks
