Some guy was making them on ebay thats where I got it from. I had to make tabs and all that to mount it so it's not off of any other bike.I hope that helps

hi i was wondering seeing how you already had this bike togather and have ridin it on the side cover where the chain comes out and the cover says made in japan i was thinking of cuting this part of the cover off would there any disavanage of doing this when it comes to riding the bike i just think it would make that side look alot cleaner with this trimmed off it seems like a easy cut but im not sure if it would make a dff

I've seen bikes with this piece cut off I don't think it'll hurt anything or change anything that has to do with riding. The one thing I do see if you cut it off and round it and then you cut the top part that fills in that gap by the motor there will be a gap there if you don't mind that I can take pics and show you what I mean if you want..

I seen this at walmart and had to buy it, it's not an xs but it looks like my bike.
