Rear cowl cover over aftermarket Chambers

#1 Post by xrdv8 » Wed Jan 16, 2019 2:45 pm

Hi there, I have a set of chambers that came with my 84 RZ500. I'm not sure of the brand but they extend past where I assume the stock pipes exited and they are a bit wider. The prior owner cut the rear of the cowling off (see pic). Any ideas how to fabricate a cover to take up the space left here?

Also, was trying on some Chinese body panels but the color match is not good....

How I got my old cans on, I took them off the expansion chambers and slid them through the widened holes and then bolted them back up, Theres not enough meat on the little tailpiece to cut out to get the widened part through the plastic..
