Swing Arm Pivot Cover

[gypsy]

The cover over my swing arm pivot went missing on a trip with Canadian FJR (I suspect he may have popped it off to wash it as he has a touch of motorcycle OCD and he lost it). I am wondering if anyone has replaced theirs with something exotic? Pasty, extra large beer cap, diaphragm? I found one online that has the Yamaha tuning forks but it is $50 and I know the damn thing will get dirty and likely go missing next time I travel with Canadian FJR. So I got thinking what I could cover it with other than the current duct tape. Any suggestions?

I like that one very much, just be sure to have it on before CFR. Your old one just may appear.

Your other option would be to have Colin make you a new one when you go over to have that broken bolt replaced.

I know a guy who can get the stock one at cost if you have the part #.

Don't tell him that, I already have the stock one.

How about a sink hole cover. A bit of epoxy and no one will ever know.

Few bucks at the hardware store.

Something that highly polished just isn't going to hold the dirt and grime!

Kohler has a black one....

I'm thinking a sink hole cover may be too big. Waaaay too big.

Pfff..you can see by my pic and your pic my sink hole cover fits easy...

But seriously. I used two of these for the swing arm cover on a Warrior. Fit perfectly and looked good when painted black.
