Tool Cover Rattle!
02/25/16 at 10:23:54

On my recent purchase of a 2004 Savage I found that the tool cover is very loose & rattles when underway. While reading an unrelated post I learned that there is supposed to be a gasket on this cover. Does anyone have a good DIY solution as the local Suzuki dealer is not enthusiastic about ordering parts for bikes over 10 years old. In addition there was no tool kit, so if you were designing your own kit, what tools would you include? (MY previous experience with tool kits supplied by a manufacturer were that they were lacking in functionality for the most part)! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I think that you will find Suzuki parts are among the most expensive of any bike. Kenny G

And it doesn't fall off every time I remove the cover.

Just gotta be creative at the corners. Door seal glue would probably be better. Stop by a body shop and tell a bodyman you need a dab of Gorilla Snot.
