Chrome belt cover

[IrishGuy]

The chrome belt cover on my ridgeback keeps backing out of it's slot and contacting the rear fender. I can pop it in easy, but if I go for a ride it'll slide back out.

How the hell do I get it to stay?

Here's a pic, hope it helps-

Put the screw back in it that is missing! That might help

There is a small pan head 1/4" (?) screw that threads into the gaurd through the rubber grommet that you are missing.

sorry to laugh but the tone of the reply is funny - I think I can laugh but that is exactly the kind of thing I would miss

Jake... glad you could see something from that pic...

Thanks bdmridgeback! I do have the screw, but it comes in from the other side on my bike Sorry my last shot sucked. Could you take another shot of that area but from the top down?

If it was installed backwards then it should be an easy fix :lol:

I looked in the hole and saw that only the one side was threaded. That's why I was so confused.

Here's a more clear shot for those that were confused :up:

Cesar, if your bike is still under warranty I would take it to the dealer and show them that it was installed incorrectly if that is the case and then you have a case for getting your fender repaired.

Just a thought,

Ray is right. And is the other side of that screw threaded in the middle?

 

[IrishGuy]

The screw and washer were just on the wrong side. Had a hell of a time getting it unscrewed from that angle. The chrome cover is now in place and won't be sliding around anymore

Unfortunately the bike isn't under warrantee. :bang: Plus I didn't buy from a dealer. However, the damage is minor and in an inconspicuous area, so I'm not too worried.
