I did the paint.
The screws were from the insert being removed from the cover then being reattached with the screws rather than glued. I got the used tank cover already screwed, I would have done something different.
Not a clue the guy who bought it from me sold it 3 weeks later for a loss on eBay (messed with the ECM and never got it running again) and I never heard from him and only had his cell number but after I sold the bike tossed it in the trash with some other papers so I had no way to contact him.
Kind of wondered but don't really care at the same time. Sort of figured it would find its way back to the forum but haven't seen anything yet.
