making a bike out of bits i have in the garage -- i thought all gp,li,sx etc panels fitted on any bike li,gp etc

But it seems these sevetta type pannels ( clip on type) i have dont fit on this gp frame i have - different angle at the back -

i'm sure i had these panel on a gp before, any ideas

I did exactly the same a few years ago with clip on "LI" type panels on a GP150- was a good fit.

Has the GP frame had a clout in the rear??

I've just tried a couple of panels on my GP and seem to have the same problem!

Is there an easy way to sort this?

Hi guys,from past experience many people seem to bend the spring type hook to get a tighter side panel fit stopping the panels falling off down the road ,thus bending the rear of the frame at the same time :(

Bear in mind that the panel buffers play a part in pushing the bottom of the panel out which has the effect of pulling the ends in a fair bit. I would fit the rear runners and make sure the rear supports aren't bent in as well. I had a bit of trouble with my Jet getting the panels to clip on but found fitting the buffers and bending on of the supports out fixed it 8-)
