Well Ill post anyway. I took mine off last year. Im putting them back on! Too much crap gets into the belts and guide/ tention wheel bearing. Now I need new belts again.

Anyone ever cut out the face of the covers and replace with clear plexi? I was considering this on my 99 750 dark.

i ended up cutting my covers on my own and ended up botching the inspection cover on the horizontal cylinder. Took it off traced the old one and cut a piece of lexan out for it, threw a led behind it and bam held up just fine and looks pretty cool if i say so myself.

long story short drill bit i was using slipped and made a hole where i didn't want it  [bang] should have been more careful, but i think it looks better with the lexan anyway  [Dolph]
