Boy this bike really is retro. That has been an issue for 45 years. Some were so bad, particularly Suzukis, that the tabs on the back of the side covers would break off because they were so hard to push onto the grommets. If you had a Suzuki with all 3 side cover tabs intact that was a rare bird. It was common practice that if you removed a side cover that you would spit on the plastic tab to facilitate reinsertion into the rubber grommet.
