Looking for a broken tab?, cracked? Left side cover. Left side for KZ900 / 1000 76-80.
Something that I can repair. For a dragstrip beater bike. That I will paint black.
Cheap, that's all. Or just save sanding of old paint and just buy the new repo for $49.00.
Just checking 1st.

Will this one work for you? As I said very thick black paint, some sexy? 3M graphics, no broken tabs but a small repaired crack . Make me an offer, PM if you wish. I'm guessing shipping will be around $10.

Yes Mike, That is something I was looking for. And as a painter, know the process of sanding those down. I learned 40 yrs ago that abs plastic does not mix well with methylene chloride paint stripper!
I'll send you an IM for the details.
Thank You!

Hello Mike, I wanted to let you know, the cover finally showed up today! The 24th.! The damn post office, and politics.
You did a great job! Packed excellent! You will be a great asset to ebay if you continue to sell and handle items like this.
I went to the Post Office and filed a complaint, after no info since 8-8 from Omaha. so this box sat for a couple of weeks dormant!
And imagine that! It appeared!
But thanks! Just what I needed.

I had no idea you were still waiting until I saw the other thread,and about crapped when I saw the picture of the smashed Priority mail box! ( Until I read through the whole thread and looked closer at the box) I'm glad it survived, up to this point I've had pretty good luck selling, packaging and shipping a few items through the US Mail.

Glad it finally worked out, I saw the picture of your project bike, I like it! Mike
