Does anyone know if any of these covers would work on an X1?

The OEM X1 battery cover is flared from top to bottom, comes in two pieces and is cut to cover the "gap" between the battery & the oil tank. it doesn't look anything like the covers you linked to.
The one's in the pic' look like they mount vertically, the X1 is more horizontal.
However, I have never tried to fit any of these so I am in no position to offer a definitive answer.

I wasn't aware that the X1 even HAD a battery cover... hmm...
I guess that's something else the PO did.

The X1 cover was an option, I believe. i picked one up from e-bay about a year ago.
It should show up on my pic'.

the x1 battery cover was an accessory item.
very hard to find now.

Kalali, i don't think the battery cover you linked would serve much of a purpose on an x1. it wouldn't even "cover" the battery.

the x1 battery cover-

None of those on that link will work.

I had a guy make me a stainless steel cover. He also made the special bracket that mounts under the battery strap which holds it on. I'm pretty sure he will do another if your interested, send me a pm.
Look at my profile pic.........

Thanks everyone for the responses. The battery cover has been one of those illusive items which seems to be impossible to find and I've never seen one in the flesh.
If someone could build a few I'm sure they'll be snapped up in a heartbeat...

I picked an NOS one up off ebay a few months back and have not installed it yet. What are they worth?? Not interested in selling just wondering.

"What are they worth??"

Well, the "worth" is typically measured by the "willingness to pay".
That's what auctions were created for...

I paid $40.00 for mine on e-bay about a year ago. i bought it, not for aesthetics but 'cause I don't like my battery terminals being uncovered.
