hey guys,
i cracked my left side- side panel on my bike, so i think i might just take both off. Could you please post some pics of what your bike looks like without them, and how to go about removing and hiding the wiring underneath. Also, they don't serve any practical purpose do they?
thanks!

I am also on the fence about taking off my side covers.
The one has some kinda discoloration thing going on, so instead of
spending some HUGE amout of cash to replace it I might just remove them all together.

This will hopefully be a winter mod for me... Gotta relocate all the wiring on the S2R's unless you like that look...

I pulled my covers off and am so happy with how it looks, I am going to cut off all the little odd mounting bits that held them on. May even cut the seat lock off too. Might pay someone to do it though, I am pretty handy with a wrench, but not sure I could blend out the welds, then prime, and paint to match perfectly with the rest of the frame.

You don't "need" frame plugs. IIRC, there are a couple places you could put them in, but I did not bother.
Wiring: It's fairly straight-forward, and you'll figure it out after looking at it.... I rerouted a couple wires, tucking them up under the seat, from the fuel tank to the tail light. There's enough slack to accommodate several route configurations.
