Default Motobuild side skirts

Evening everyone
I'm thinking about ordering a set of Motobuild Sills as the oem ones are NLA.
Has anyone fitted these successfully? (I've heard some horror stories! )

They are a bit of a hassle to fit as the dont come with any fixings. You have to fabricate your own....and CAN be rather bowed too.

Once fitted though they do look good.

Buy the one side OE which will halve your hassle.....Im sure one side is still available.

I had them fitted to a tourer and they looked OK, just need to make sure you get them to fit as good as you can before you get them painted.

Cheers guys

Odd that Rimmers have sold out of 1 side....
I wouldn't be surprised if it's easier to adapt 1 to fit the other side than mess with the fiberglass ones

When I bought mine from rimmers they sent me two RH I rang them up and they said they would send me a LH one and didnt want the RH one returning so if they did this with a few orders that could be the reason why they only have one side in stock I wouldn't be be put off fitted the motobuild ones a little more attention to detail that's all
