| I'd always hated the way the top of my neck cover didn't quite together - I'd always thought it was because they were a bit old & tatty. " /> Then I ended up with a new(er) pair (came with a pair of side panels I picked up from ebay) - much better condition, that'll sort it then. Fitted 'em yesterday - exactly the same. Now, it's either a common problem or I'm very unlucky. Closer examination reveals it's a crap design - whilst it has mounting lugs towards the tank, there's nothing to hold the front part together. I was tempted to go back to my previous idea - black gaffa tape - " /> but decided that'd look as pants as it did last time, &, as I'd smartened the bike up, that just wouldn't be right. Tossed around loads of ideas but couldn't think of anything. Then looked at the speedo I'd just fitted back on & thought of speedo - tank trim. Hunted around in my Big Box Of Bits & found the remains of that project. " /> Bit fiddly to fit & not perfect, but a definite improvement | |

| Good job, a few of us did that a while back. I have it all around my tank and clock housing. | |

| I think I will be doing this to my neck covers in the next couple of days. It's always bugged me gut I couldn't think of an easy way around it. | |

| Well I had a snorkel fitted to my Land-rover, might work on an intruder as well. | |
