    What is the Trick...

    I'm installing a GIVI bash plate and I am having trouble accessing a bolt (pic attached) to install a mounting bracket. Does anyone have the trick to removing the plastic cover on the right hand side that says "Dual Clutch Transmission"? I'm worried I'll break a fastener if I pull any harder.

    Thanks,

    Frustrated with the GIVI bash plate installation, I stepped away for a couple hours and returned to answer my question. Three bolts must be removed to remove the cover.

    Once the cover was removed, accessing and removing the bolt to install the Givi bash plate bracket was easy. I took photos of the Givi install and will post them in another thread.
