Rode up to Rome yesterday and notice my left side cover was loose. It has basically broken one side of the flange off.I got it stuck back on well enough to not worry about it for now. Just wondering if I can pick up a similiar one at say Home Depot or maybe an auto parts store. Thanks

I got them a Lawrenceville Honda. They were in stock and did not cost much.

Now I’ve seen those black rubber grommets available somewhere on the world wide web for my Honda side cover. That’s not much help to you nor me either one since I visit thousand of places on the web and can’t remember any of them. I’d think, like Motorcycle Mike said, you’d find them at a Bike shop or dealer much quicker than searching auto shops or a Home Depot. Tie them on with a baggie tie wrap to insure they don't pop or fall out.

Silicone them on.

Your local hardware store has rubber grommets in various sizes that are used to protect wiring that passes through holes in sheet metal. They are available in the exact size you need. I bought several for less than a buck!
