Anyone near the Gatlinburg, TN that might have a right side cylinder cover for 1250 rs?

Bear knocked over my bike and cracked my engine cover on the right side. Anyone know where I can get one quick. Rode down to Tennessee from Indiana. Need to get back home.

I patched mine with quick set aluminium putty after a low side, to complete the last leg to Phillip Island then back to Canberra. It was what a friendly local had on hand and worked well enough, with only a slight weep. The hardest part was getting it to stick to the alloy rather than my fingers - wasn’t pretty.

JB Weld should work fine for a crack provided you degrease the surfaces properly. Apply from the outside rather than inside to avoid the potential for bits to flake off and find themselves floating around in the engine.
