    Hey all,

    Decided to fit some old GB covers to my blade. This has left an area exposed just above the engine over and to the left of the shifter. Is there an infill part to tidy this up a bit. Thought about cutting down the stock cover but would rather buy a second hand scuffed one for this but can't find one.

    Interested if anyone has come across an aftermarket part or done a modification. Pictures welcomed. Below is the area and an image of the original cover.

    I dont remember removing g anything when I stalling my covers, think they all went over the top of all existing parts?

    I've not got any specific close ups of this area but might be able to tell from the below?

    Dont k ow if you can zoom in on that bottom image to see if I still have that on? Mines 2013 btw if that helps.

    cheers tuktuk, looks like the 2013 has a different engine cover arrangement. Yours looks a lot cleaner as there is no additional brackets so guess you didn’t have to remove a plastic cover first.

    I recon someone would have come across this before with a 2015, or am I just being picky o_O

    I've got a 2016 and I also didn't have to remove anything, they just got over the originals. Should be able to get a pic later today

    ABS versions have that "extra" plastic engine cover. I regularly browse eBay for blade parts, and never came across an aftermarket part for that specific zone.

    With the ABS model, GB Racing state the the secondary alternator cover should be fitted beneath the OEM plastic cover. Instructions here:

    You sure that bike didn't originally have ABS? Never seen a non ABS with that cover until now!

    You know... I never noticed that before. I just checked on the UK online fiche and you are quite right. 5 stars from me...
    Also, I think in the States the cover is fitted to some none ABS CBR1000rr's
