Does anyone have a source for those rubber grommets that are used on the plastic side covers?

If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have one of the plastic studs from my left sidecover missing and I am interested in knowing if anyone has managed to figure out how to glue or plastic weld on a new one. Is there a DIY tutorial on something like this?

I found a nice DIY on fixing side panel tabs at this link. Looks like a good fix.

Ordered all my side panel grommets today and picked up an oil filter while i was there for good measure.

I had to make a stud post for my '82 GS1100E sidecover. Using the other sidecover stud for an example, I took a similiar sized bolt and cut it the right length, then I took the largest and thickest washer I could find and cut threads in it, screwed the bolt into the washer then I gorilla glued it together, then grind the bottom smooth. Then I grinded the bolt head to the shape of the working one, sanded smooth the
panel and gorilla glued the washer/bolt to the sidecover. I made it just slightly smaller and it works better than the original.
I also used a flat piece of copper to replace a missing tab, cut and shaped like the original, made a bend in it so it would fit flush against the inside of the side cover and gorilla glued it. Stronger than the original! works just as well, looks funky though.
