Side Cover Storage

How do you store/protect your sidecover? I have a side bag on my KZ and have taken the side cover for that side off.
Whats the best way to store such a thing and keep the humidity off it and all other of mishap??

Why don't you put it back on and do what you did here?

I wanted a stylish side bag so I could carry stuff; I got one. 

I took the clutch side, side  cover OFF so the bike could accommodate the side bag.

It is unclear why youre suggesting I put the cover back on. I dont WANT the side cover on, I have the side bag in its place. 

Thanks for your thoughts.

I guess you missed this.

Most of the sidecovers are covering the sides of the bikes.
No one I know removes them for safekeeping.
Throw them in a black ziplock bag with desiccant if you are concerned.

Send a photo of the bike in the sunlight.
The sidecover has a yellow shift compared to the tank which has a shift towards the blue end.
Don't worry it's not that noticeable.
I work with color all the time so these things I get ocd with.

good job

Thanks for your help.

I used a filter on that photo that tends yellow-ish. Prior to its repair, the tank had a small dent in the front, a slight dent in the back, had peeling pinstriping, and the green had come off on the top of the tank, exposing the silver below. The tank has none of that now and Im pretty happy with it.

I have a candy apple red Z1, but I. have a complete original candy apple blue set, including tank and tail piece that I store wrapped in bubble wrap in a large bin.  Other than that, I just store them on my bikes in my shop.

Huh, missed what?   He really likes bags, just can’t remember where he put them!

 Just a left handed way of posting the same subject in a new thread. 
Never states the reason for editing like everyone else does. 

If he needs to edit anything it's his new footer. 
Totally delusional.
