1983 Yamaha IT490 DC Plastic Installation

DC Plastic compared to OEM.  The edges aren't as sharp, but good luck finding 30 year old OEM plastic.

Was condition.



One bolt holds the side cover on.

Rear fender not nearly as sharp as OEM.  Side mounting holes where not aligned and had to be redrilled.  Not a big deal as the holes are under the seat and not visible.  The light is a bigger issue.  Note that OEM has clips molded in to hold light and fender is tapped to mount the lens.

I drilled completely through the fender and attached the lens with nuts on the back side.  Not optimum, but will do for now.  I still have not figured out a good way to mount the bulb.  That's for another day.
