Hello everyone!

I've been absent from the forum for some months, because of an accident with my beloved XJ600 S :cry:

While I had a broken leg as a result, and I'm now recovering ;) , she suffered minor damage and is now *almost* completely repaired.

The only part I have problems with is the rear cover, right side, which is broken and I need to find another.

My XJ is a 1998 year, but it seems I can only find parts from 1992 XJs.
I have checked the parts catalog and , oddly enough, the part for the 1992 and the part for the 1998 report a similar code.

1998 -> 4EB-21721
1992 -> 4BP-2172101P1

To be more clear the part catalog is here:
1998 ( item 7 in the exploded view ) -> https://www.bike-parts-yam.it/yamaha-mo ... B21/0/9433

1992 (item 6 in the exploded view ) -> https://www.bike-parts-yam.it/yamaha-mo ... B21/0/9496

This is my (broken!) part

And its code

So I'm asking for some more "hands on" advice from you; is the part the same and thus interchangeable from 1992 to 1998 or is it a different beast (like the front fairing)?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

Michele
Live long and prosper...and ride!
