Years that Sidecovers fit 77 750F model
« on: July 06, 2005, 04:30:14 PM »
Does anyone know what years the right and left sidecovers fit on a 1977 750F model?  They seem unique from other years but I wondered if the 75-76 era would fit??? ???  Thanks, Mike

...very hard to find...77 &78F models use the same side covers and thats it!  Earlier models don't fit.   I see them on Ebay from time to time, never go for less that 30 or 40 a peice.  I have mine, bu they are in about 100 peices, so gonna get myself some glue and have at it...

Bummer ... thanks for the info.  I am surprised Maier or someone else hasn't come up with replacements.  Anyone have a nice right side for sale? :)

Thanks, that would be great ..... no need for the nomenclature since I am redoing them for a cafe'.  Both sides would be OK since my left has a couple repairs on it from the PO.  Let me know!  thx, Mike ;D

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the right side cover from 75-76 will fit 77-78. They have different badges of course. The left side cover has different mounting tab positions on 77-78 so is exclusive to those years.

the right side cover will fit 75-78 on a supersport. The left is exclusive to 77-78. Ironically enough if you are in a pinch a left cover from a 77-78 K bike will fit, it just wont look right since it is a different shape. Since I don't have my left sidecover I am using a 77 K bike cover to keep crap out of the electrics.

Looking for a 77-78 left side supersport cover is someone has one.

You can get Maier(sp) panels from JC Whitney, however they have different mountings than stock. Rather than tabs to go in the rubber grommets, they have a screw type mount that goes into the rubber grommets. Also, you have to drill out the holes. I have them on my '76F, they look ok but not as nice as oem.

Maier does not make a 77-78 supersport LEFT sidecover (at least last time I checked), only the 75-76 panels are available (the 75-76 RIGHT side cover will work on the 77-78). The maier mounting pieces are garbage to use so if you can find original go for it.

Considering a 77-78 LEFT supersport sidecover sold on egay for over $100 it might not be so bad to order the David Silver panels at 30pounds. Anybody wanna get in on this and see if we can get a group rate?

Ture. they don't look that great, and the mounting is difficult at first, but I don't have to worry about ever discovering that they blew off. And they do look a lot better than that ugly oil bottle and that mess of wires!
