Battery Cover VRLA Chrome Plated (Battery Box Side Cover) for Royal Enfield Bullet 350 ES Disc BS4 – 868055 (Genuine OEM)

Royal Enfield 868055 is the genuine OEM Battery Cover (VRLA) – Chrome Plated, used on specific UCE Bullet variants with the VRLA battery box layout. This is the outer battery carrier/side cover that protects the battery area and completes the classic chrome side-profile. If your existing cover is dented, rusted, cracked at mounting points, loose-fitting, or missing, replacing it with the correct OEM cover restores proper fitment and finish without local fabrication or mismatched aftermarket chrome.

Before you buy: this part is NOT universal for all Classic/Bullet models. Confirm your exact variant and battery box layout. Best practice: match by part number 868055 + photo of your existing cover mounting tabs.

7) FAQs 

Q1 (Fitment): How do I confirm this 868055 battery cover matches my bike?
Confirm your model is Bullet 350 ES Disc – BSIV and match your existing cover by photo (mounting tabs, curvature, and battery box type). If unsure, share VIN last 6 digits + a clear side photo of the battery box area.

Q2 (Fitment): Will it fit Classic 350 / Classic 500 UCE?
Some listings online mention UCE Classic fitment, but it’s not consistent enough for ✅ confirmation. We keep Classic models as ❓ Unverified—order only after VIN/photo match.

Q3 (Comparison): OEM vs aftermarket chrome battery cover—what’s the difference?
OEM parts typically match factory mounting points, edge beading alignment, and chrome contour. Aftermarket covers can look similar but often need adjustment and may not sit flush.

Q4 (Installation): Any precautions while installing this cover?
Do not overtighten fasteners (chrome can crack at stress points). Ensure rubber beading/isolators (if used on your variant) are seated to prevent rattles.

Q5 (Symptoms): What issues does a damaged/missing battery cover cause?
Loose/rattling side area, exposed battery, water/dust splash risk, and an incomplete side profile—especially noticeable on chrome-finish Bullets.

Q6 (Returns-prevention): What should I send to avoid ordering the wrong side cover?
Send (1) your bike model/variant (e.g., “Bullet 350 ES Disc BSIV”), (2) side photo of the battery box area, and (3) a photo of your old cover’s mounting points.
