Dennis. I won't know for sure till tomorrow just because I forget. I'm pretty sure however it is the side the bike leans to on the side stand - the left side? It's the side the overflow tube from the battery is on, which as I think of it, may be on the right side. Rear brake shoes will need replacing too. I see Dennis Kirk has them and I see used ones on e-bay. It's that left side cover that will be hard to find/expensive. Are you familiar with Bob Logue, the Honda dealer in Williamsport? He has a museum of vintage Honda bikes, Graham
