Side cover swapping?

[xxwaldoxx]

Does anyone happen to know if side covers were interchangeable in the early 80's?

One of my side covers fell off while riding due to a broken pin. I cant seem to find a set of covers for an 83 450 but i did find some for a 81 450. Anyone know if they will work?

I can also get a set from an 85 450, but i dont know if those will fit either.


I plan on painting them at some point. Does it make a difference if i use Krylon Fusion plastic paint or can i use automotive paint and not worry about cracking later?

thanks

Side cover swapping?

Go to BikeBandit or Alpha Sports websites, they both have online parts diagrams for Suzuki bikes. Look up your side cover part #'s and write em down then check the #'s for the other years. If they match those years will fit.

I did this for my 79 850 and found that 79-81 850g and 80-81 1000g will fit.
Good Luck.

BTW: anyone got a right side cover for a 79 GS850G???????
