    Default Lost side cover

    On a short ride this afternoon, the engine cover on my wife's 2011 RT blew off on the freeway. By the time we managed to get stopped and walk back, it had been ran over and destroyed. Now for my question. What are my options for getting a replacement?
    My wife's color is Vegas pearl white. Is there a site for people selling parts after a wreck? Thanks in advance.

    If you are lucky you may find a used part. Otherwise you will need to buy the individual pieces that make up the cover. In total it will come close to $300. I assume you are talking about the left or right service covers that have the large chrome CAN AM lettering on them. Which is it, left or right? When I lost mine, the large chrome CAN AM letters were $80 a pair and were only sold in pairs. I still have the right side one. I'll make you a deal on it if you need it.

    We lost the left side. It is the lower cover just in front of the drivers shin.

    That sounds like the one where you check the oil level. That's the one I lost. Good luck, it could get expensive.

    Default rubber washers for side panel.

    both my small access panels blew off. I was lucky enough to find them (with a few minor scratches). The Rubber grommets that hold them either broke or were ripped out of the bike. Check to ensure the grommets are there.
