Frankenbike covers.

Hopefully someone can answer this for me before I order them.

I put in a request to FB-Stuff.com via his site, but no response. I am sure the website ate it.

Perhaps he will see this. =)

Will the 550F covers fit a 550K1? I can't imagine they would be that different, but I don't really know.

From the FAQ:

 The right covers differ in mounting at the top forward mount position where the mount tab is rotated 90 degrees.  The 390 and 404 covers swap among frames F style and late K model, but not with the earlier K model 323 frames/covers.
What doesn't show in the pics, possibly, is that the 323 covers are significantly fatter/deeper than the 390 and 404 styles.  About an inch I guess.


Ok, so how do I know what one I have? The 323, 390 or the 404?
