Dumb triangle cover on left lost!

gman74 · July 30th, 2012, 12:27 PM

Anyone else lose that small cover on the left side covering the front nut on the rear suspension? I lost mine at the track this past weekend. Guessing I hit it moving around on the bike within the turns or at high speed wind.
Either way, what is this going to cost me...$100? I hated that cover before the track day, now I'm really annoyed by it. Terrible design on Duc's part.

I lost mine on a ride, the dealer told me they have had multiple people lose them, it was only $14 but still waiting for it to show

Toniiio · July 30th, 2012, 12:48 PM

gman74 · July 30th, 2012, 01:28 PM

Here's the spot where it use to be.

Glad it's cheap. Might be a dozen of them! Or just super glue the piece back in.

Just checked on how it's held in, not by much, there are two points on the upper side that have a notch to keep it in the lower section is just a tab. I could see how this easily gets lost if it gets bumped.

Glad I caught this thread. Checked mine and it was on the verge of falling off too.

I lost one too. $22 in Australia. It came off in the first few weeks somewhere.

Yours may have got pushed off by the battery charger lead which seems to be also attached there ?????

Could be. But only the protective cover of the cable is looped through and doesn't touch the plastic cover. Even before the service tech routed the cable like that the plastic almost fell off twice. I just should have watched it more closely. Either way...it's a bad design.

It would help if somebody who has "the triangle" could post a picture of it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's the triangle shaped trim piece covering the front of the shock. If you pull on it, it comes right off.

Thanks for the post.. I found out mine are loose too. Getting some double side tape to safe the piece before it flew off.

Mine fell off at the track while I was waiting for them to let us on but someone pointed it out on the ground luckily, put it back on and have not lost it yet.
