Side panel beading

Post by bob0121 »

Started to fit new side panel beading for the m31 tank today. Both pieces were about 3'' too short. So restarted and tried to keep them stretched while doing it. One side is almost touching the other still way off. Holding them in place with cellotape for now. When it comes to final fit, will I need to glue them in place. Any one have any tips.

Hi

Send them back - you should have a an excess of material, (in my case a couple of inches), to accommodate fitting.

Assuming you have purchased the correct item for your bike.
