How do you remove the right side cover to get to the document bag?

On this bike? For what, speeding?Imagine being pulled over
Cops will be cops. They will find a way if they feel particularly inclined to doing so. Tesla ran into this problem with their automotive programming, their self driving cars have to break the laws in order to perform safe operation in some cases.stuff
Hi Mick,Besides the rear brake fluid reservoir? Definitely no paperwork lurking there. I should have looked in the service manual before removing the cover because that little post is shown in the illustration.

Thanks Mick. I appreciate the information.Hey mcmd, the cover has the obvious plastic pop fastener on the bottom(push in gently in the center), and the rear-facing jis screw. If you then pull the top left corner (as you are facing it) rearward, you should be able to free the tiny post before swinging the bottom up and freeing the top two tabs. I totally missed that tiny post and snapped it off. Fortunately the cover is secure without that tab, although I felt miserable breaking it.
As to the Givi plate, I considered larger pieces of rubbery materials but didn’t want anything to trap moisture (although I am a fair weather rider). I had cut a couple of two-inch pieces of narrow bicycle inner tube to use on the bent steel pieces Givi provides for the bottom of the rack, so I just cut four more and positioned them in the four corners. I can just see them along the edge without having them protrude. They never moved all season, and the case seems very secure.
Hope this helps.
I did this, and the velcro un-stuck. I pressed it on and hoped for the best, but when I get a moment I'm going to add some painter's tape and superglue the velcro to the painter's tape.His suggestion is to place your papers in a good zip loc bag and velcro this little package to the bottom of your seat. This way they're locked away, yet easy to access. I thought this was a great idea. This is the method I'm now using. Thanks On2Feet!
