As the bushings that hold the cover in place age (or fall off) those covers are likely to come off. I replaced all those bushings and RTV'ed the bushings in place. I also epoxied the covers to oversized fender washers bend at 90 degree angels and zip tied the washers to the frame. So if they fall off, they will hang by the zip ties.

I haven't looked in a while, but I ordered those covers using the Honda OEM part number. It is almost impossible to find the body painted version that came on the C models, but the chrome versions from the S/R/T like you have, where available (this was years ago).

You can see the epoxy job to the left corner of this picture. The point of this picture was my hidden garage door opener that I integrated into the cover. I have a chrome momentary button that is soldered into the opener's board.

 

I've seen them on ebay I believe. Also always good to check the rubber bushings each year as they deteroate. New bushings can be purchased through Honda and maybe Napa, etc. I always wrap the cover posts with a bit of tape to make for a more snub fit.

 

A specialty place like Allied Seals and Bearings is a source, if you take one in to have them measure, match up. Good place for O rings too. Maybe try Grainger or mcMaster-Carr too. The Allied local outlet matched my LeatherLyke saddlebag grommets, which are very similar in size and shape to the side cover grommets.

 

I may need the o-rings but before I buy the o-rings I need to replace the cover which is lost.

 

Amazon has them for $39.

Amazon.com

They appear to be available in black or chrome. The chrome ones are more popular since people like chrome but also because the right hand covers have a tendency to get melted by the exhaust and the chrome ones are a bit more immune to that than the painted ones are.

I bought a replacement grommet from Partzilla but they may have those on Amazon as well.

 

Thank you very much. This is more help than I expected. You saved me from having to look them up myself. I was expecting a heavy hunt.

Thanks

 

Not that it'll help much but I recently lost mine and I googled battery fairing cover and ebay popped up and I just shape matched it. Got new chrome ones! Nice bike man!!

 

Thanks. Found a pair on Amazon 2ith the recommendation and link from someone on this forum.

I only needed one but the pair cost me $42 with tax and shipping.

Hoping it will match.

Thanks
