This is the right hand sidecover of the CL200, which crumbled into pieces the first time I removed it to get to the air filter.
These are extremely hard to find for this bike, and even more expensive if you do find one, so I’m keeping with my main tactic of getting the job done with as little money as possible.
So, I got some gorilla superglue and started doing some repairs. I’ll get some sort of metal stripping for the backside to reinforce the repaired seams, but so far it’s coming together ok. I’ve applied several overlapping coats of glue and obviously it will need to be sanded, leveled, and repainted when done.
I love repairs like this. I question the effort versus spending money for one that isn’t broken…but in the end I’ll have a nice sidecover without spending much more than the cost of some supplies and some paint.
Since we’re coming up on the Winter months, this will also give me a nice time consuming yet rewarding task for the cold months.
