For after market try Dennis Kirk and for OEM Ebay and good luck. I don’t think Z1 sells body parts. Your gonna pay good money for OEM.

Hell, for that kind of money we can copy the design and make some trick carbon fiber ones and start selling some good better than original replacement parts. I don't understand why they have to make things cheaper. They could come up with some quality and or trick parts that are better than stock.

I just scored some free diamond plate aluminum from an ambulance service I work for. I'm going to experiment making some side covers outta that. Instead of just covering the electrinics, I'm going to extend them so the cover the whole gap in that part of the frame. I'll post some pics when I get them don.

Sorry OMR but I bought my sidecover from him and for what I paid Jeff at Z1 sells the set so I think he is a pirate. Those pieces although not original are really heavy. Mine fell off twice but didn't break. While thats good I still think they could have made them a little better and sold them a little cheaper but hey I guess if everyone ordered one then it would be much cheaper.

for the guys that using pod filters try drilling a small hole thru the end of the pin and put small spring thru so they can't pull thru the grommets when the air gets in behind them it keeps them from blowing off.

No biggy to me Sax... ;)

I've had no problems with mine... Did you use new grommets as well?

Ah well, yeah they are pricey... The ones you got at Z1, are they pinned or the feed through bolt on ones?
