Unidentified Cover/Lid?

[Peder_y2k]

What's this cover/lid? Associated with gen1 bikes, but I don't know what it's for.

Keys on the right top so it must go right side upper dash cover. Not sure if it's MKII but I think so.

[Prairiehammer]

I believe it is for a 1983 or 1984 Royale prior to factory CB. The "glove box" on upper right of the fairing dash. The CLASS would occupy the lower section of the right fairing compartment. Later the CLASS and CB took up most of the space and there is simply the latched door for checking the coolant overflow tank.

 

Here's a pic of a 1984 Royale with that cover.

Yup! It's MK1 where the CB goes if you have a CB or if you don't have a CB that covers where the controller goes. Bet that's clear as mud...

 

It goes above the CLASS controller.

I have been thinking of doing the same thing. Will be intrested in what you come up with.

It would be easier and maybe looking more original if you removed the panel from your bike and replaced it with the inner "glove box" from any First Gen STANDARD (no CB, no CLASS). Here is one:

And another: http://tinyurl.com/ks464ao Here is one on sale: http://tinyurl.com/lnbpwfy

 

Here is one with multiple views to show what it looks like. Maybe can get enough info from those pics to make one? http://tinyurl.com/mg74zo5

 

You will probably want the hinged cover that attaches to the glove box, too. Here is one:

that box looks like it only attaches to the top of the fairing ,,

wonder why they didnt attach it to bottom or frame for some more stiffening

 

all the side panels in this fairing ????

 

going riding more later too nice not to get out

Just take the six screws that hold your plastic panel (that used to contain the CB and CLASS) onto the fairing and replace with the pictured glove box and add the hinged cover.

The OEM cover had no more support than this glovebox and it was carrying the weight of the CB and CLASS.

That cover is actually for the standard Ventures and covers up the box where the radio/tape player would go on a Royale on the left side. It attaches to clips in the box and the key is to lock it.I also used it to protect the empty hole when I pulled the radio out.

I started a thread for my box... just to cheap to buy one.. or rather do it myself ,,
