Today while inspecting my air filter I bumped the left foot peg release button. Behind where the foot peg rest is a tab that is attached to the floor board. I noticed it was broken clean through near the head of the screw holding it in place. I started to remove the left side leg skirt when I determined it was more hassle than it was worth. To fix the break I used a cyanoacrylate adhesive (aka crazy glue). It worked, but glued the screw in place. I'll have to drill out the screw if I ever need to remove the skirt, but that's not a big deal.
Why they designed the skirt to have a thin tab at a stress point (being kicked by passengers using the foot peg) doesn't make a lot of sense as they easily could have created a stronger tab (read thicker).
Hopefully an image shows up below. The skirt is the piece at the far right bottom corner. The tab I am referring to is the one just to the left of the part number indicated as 93903-34380.

Mine is broken in the same place too. Do idea when it happened. It doesn't hut anything, i'll get around to remounting it one of these days.

I remember someone's post stating that you need to remove screws in that area before removing the belt cover - or you will break a tab like they did.
There are probably several LIKE owners here who have removed their belt cover - comments re. this tab and screw?
Mine is OK....you guys had me out there in the garage with a flashlight!
Has the dealer serviced under the belt cover? Maybe they broke the tab without knowing.
