SR50 Tunnel Cover Swap

One thing that has always bugged me about the looks of the SR50 has been the silver tunnel covers in the middle of the black scooter. It bothered me even more when I happened to see a brand new 2014 SR 50 at Scuderia and it came with the covers in matching black so I had to research and find out the part numbers for the 2014 pieces to swap mine out. A quick search revealed the three part numbers needed to order the covers:
LH Tunnel Black- AP8269396 ----Price $14.99
RH Tunnel Black- AP8269395 ---- Price $14.99
Tunnel Cover Black- AP8269397 ---- Price $10.99

As you can see the silver stands out like a sore thumb.

The worst part about the silver is they are in high contact areas so they easily accumulate black scuff marks from shoes and if painted would probably start to peel or chip quickly due to excessive contact.


After 15 minutes of turning screws and allen bolts the new black molded pieces are in place and looking the way it should have come from Italy in the first place!


Sweet!
