Hi everyone, first post but long time reader. I have acquired a 2003 V11. Unfortunately it was laid down and the right side timing chain cover cracked and broke off where the frame mount is . I was hoping to have it repaired but it actually pushed in the cover and is no longer flush!
So, being that there are literally NO V11 timing chain covers in the world apparently...I see that MAYBE a G5 V1000 cover will fit?? From comparing a photo of one on eBay to mine they look almost identical apart from some of the obvious things. The one for sale has numbers : 18001450 on the inside.
The inside of the G5 cover is very comparable to the V11. Appears to have same cutouts, mounts, etc...The outside is a bit different but doesnt appear to effect install. The G5 cover has two screw plugs on top, the V11 is casted closed. There is also a capped nut on the front of the G5 cover, the V11 is again casted closed.
Any info on this anyone could share would be killer! I don't want to miss the chance on this cover for sale.
Thanks mates!
