Warning!

If you plan on installing Cobra Passenger Floor Boards, DO NOT install these Corbin side covers. The covers are too close for the floorboards to fit properly.

Covers Compared - Exterior View

Corbin's molded side covers provide an integrated look to your machine. As you can see, these covers are fat and low!!

Covers Compared - Interior View (Mounting Points)

First remove the seat and of course the OEM side covers. The circular rubber grommet from the upper hole on the stock side cover should be removed and placed in the corresponding hole on the Corbin covers.
On the OEM side covers there is a tab on the bottom edge that slips into a rectangular grommet on the frame. The center bolt in the bottom middle portion of the Cobin cover will be installed at that location on the frame. You can see this in the next pics.

Mounting the Corbin Covers On the Right Side

Corbin Covers - Mounting Points on Frame

The cover is attached to the frame at point A with the rubber grommet that has been transferred from the OEM cover. It is also fastened at point B with the bolt furnished by Corbin. You can see the Corbin bolt installed on the frame at point B.

Note: I left the center nut and spacer a little loose in order to adjust after snapping the upper attachment in place.

Note: As shown in the pic, make sure that you have a flat washer (supplied) on the back side of the slot on the frame. Slip on the spacer and nut on the side facing you and then tighten securly.

In the pic, bolt B is fastened to the frame. Acorn nut A is used to fasten the side cover to bolt B.

Mounting the Corbin Covers On the Left Side

Note: If you remove the expansion tank be careful. People have broken the nipple off where the rad siphon/overflow hose # 37 is connected. I have avoided removing it because I have been told that the tank isa little bugger to get back on. Make sure that the reservoir is properly seated ( it must not be all the way in).

Left side Corbin cover.

Note: The front portion of the covers is shapped in order to be slipped under the lip of the fuel tank.

Right side Corbin cover.

Note: Keep a 7/16" nut driver with you when you are out riding, You never know when you have to get inside the cover.

Very nice example of the covers.

Another beautiful set up.

Will these side covers fit with the chrome engine hanger covers? You bet!!! See mine :-)
