Piece between side panels in the rear. Part #10 bikebandit frame cover

[kylegod]

So after putting my bike back together, I THINK I forgot to tighten down the two screws that hold down the L shaped piece of metal that goes between the two side panels in the read...under the grab bar. If i remember correctly, I thought it kind of snapped into place even without screws so Im surprised if It did fall of riding. Also I cant find the screws anywhere which means the piece may be lying around somewhere, just cant find it. Anyhow its Part #10 on bike bandit under "frame cover" section.

So. If anyone has eliminated their side panels or has an extra one for whatever reason id like to buy it. a

Thanks alot! Wow 24 bucks for a small bent piece of metal. Suzuki dealer wanted 40 something i think though...
I might just fab up a little bracket out of scrap alum. thatll fit that gap and deal without the whole part bending around the back. Just a small piece to hold the plastic together.

So, did you ride off without tightening? Or just misplace it?

To make it worse I believe that piece is made of plastic, not metal.  I've been looking for a cheap one of those on here for a while.  Most of the guys parting bikes out don't want to split up the center piece and the side fairings.
