FAQs

Are these side panels compatible with aftermarket exhaust systems?

While designed to fit OEM specifications, compatibility with all aftermarket exhaust systems cannot be guaranteed. Minor adjustments may be needed in some cases. Please check specific fitment notes or contact support if you have a non-standard exhaust.

How do I clean my Acerbis side panels?

Clean regularly with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic finish.

Do these panels come with mounting hardware?

These panels are designed to utilize your motorcycle's original mounting hardware. Hardware is typically not included.

What is the difference between these and OEM side panels?

These Acerbis panels are made from higher-quality plastics that exceed OEM specifications for improved durability and are often color-matched precisely to factory standards.

Can I install these myself?

Yes, these panels are designed for straightforward installation. However, if you are unsure, professional installation is recommended to ensure a perfect fit and avoid damage.

What does 'exceeds OEM specifications' mean for durability?

It means the materials and manufacturing processes used result in a product that is typically stronger and more resistant to breaking or cracking than the original parts from the motorcycle manufacturer.

How long will the factory color match last?

The color match is applied to the plastic itself. Longevity depends on exposure to UV light and cleaning methods. Regular care will help maintain the color's vibrancy.

Troubleshooting

Side panels do not fit correctly

Verify that you have the correct model and year for your motorcycle. Ensure no mounting points are bent or obstructed. Re-read the installation instructions carefully.

Fasteners do not engage properly

Check if the panel's mounting holes are aligned with the bike's mounting studs or bolts. Ensure you are using the correct fasteners for each location.

Plastic appears faded or discolored

This can occur due to UV exposure over time. Regular cleaning and application of a UV protectant specifically for plastics can help maintain the color. Note that slight color variations may occur compared to older OEM parts.
