Lower Battery cover on 08 ST1300

[Wstark]

At OHSTOC this weekend I noticed a 08 ST1300 that has black covers on both sides of the bike just below the painted side covers. I was able to find the left side with the cutout for the preload adjuster but have been unable to find one for the right side that covers the bottom of the battery.
Anyone have a part #?
Thanks

I put them both on my 04. I think they are a "must" to complete the look of the 1300. cheap fix as well.

Just curious... are those side panels not stock on the bike when new? At least the right side?

2008 through 2012 they were standard equipment.

Thanks Mike.

IMHO, they added them in 2008, because they increased the size of the converter in the muffler and caused more heat. So I think they are HEAT SHIELDS, and not cosmetic!
