Hmm,yeah,some of the early ones did that.Yours did'nt still have the single dzus fastener underneath,did it? They should have been replaced by a bolt and wellnut.
The later bikes have revised fixings with two bolts underneath and differant fixings by the nose.
I have a spare '03 lower in the garage,.....just checked and its a left hand side,.....sorry.
Personally,I always liked the black Breil 749's or the retro silver bike Gianluca Nannelli rode in 2005.
