Question...

I've recently bought side bags for my XB9R. The straps are strapped under the passenger seat and tightens the bags up against the plastic body. Well, some little stones got caught in between the bag and the plastic and from the vibration and movement, put some nice little deep marks in the plastic. How do I go about fixing this? Since the plastic is yellow all the way through...can I somehow wet sand it out? I don't have a clue......

I don't think there is much you can do for that without making it worse. Did you price out a new one? Body pieces are pretty reasonable. Or maybe a used one.

Buellin_ri,

Being that it's more on the bottom ...as it goes back under the seat....it doesn't stand out. But I know it's there....

I'll just need to protect it better when I put those bags back on again....

Thanks for responding

Felt tape helps, but if rocks get in there your screwed.
