Does anyone have a 94 600VLX?

yeah you're definitely missing all those parts i listed. I had exactly the same issue when I traded for the VlXI have now.

It also looks like the tabs that you the rubber holder for your starter solenoid slide on to to hold it in place are broken but I wouldn't worry about that. It'll be loose, but it ain't going anywhere and when you get the battery cover, just secure it to it with some zip ties if it's still in the way. You won't believe how much having that cover in place cleans things up. everything will fall in to place and be so much easier on the eye and will def be secure.

Thanks man! Soon as I get some extra $$ Im going to fix it. Yeah I am riding with the cover off because it wont stay and already blew off once lol. I cant believe I found it at 2am on the side of the road lol

[Raven080510]

you got lucky finding it lol. be careful about letting that fuse block hang down. it is long enough to get brushed against those hot exhaust pipes. Until I got my parts ordered, I wedged the fuse block between the battery and the housing so it wouldn't slip out. Or you could zip tie it out of the way for now. Just don't want any of those electrical goodies to get cut or fried until you get the parts to fix it right.

yeah, i tuck everything in. The previous owner already melted the fuse box, thankfully it was the top of it and not the bottom.

[Raven080510]

Yeah a small spot was melted on mine as well, but it was just the rubber cover. they also tried to rig my side cover with a piece of wire to stay on and the cover slid down on the exhaust. melted a pretty nasty spot on the bottom section of the cover the shape of the pipe. I had to used some fiberall, which is a brand of fiberglass filler that's pretty great stuff to repair the scorched spot. I use it in the shop on truck hoods. Repainted and now it's good as new.

If you have the cover you can drill a couple of small holes and zip tie it on. You can get colored zip ties to try to match the color of the bike. You really don't notice it unless you're looking for it. I had to do mine that way until I ordered my chrome ones. There's a place in California that sells them made from real metal instead of chrome covered plastic.

Where would you suggest drilling it at? I don't want it to be noticeable.

Do you have a link? If they have a website that would be great. I would be really interested in some metal ones!

Why are you drilling it?? Just get a new grommet. If the tab is missing, you can make a new one. There are several threads on here of how people have made new tabs. Here's mine made from epoxy and a screw.
