Danish term or phrase: dækslerne
I am translating an article about the story of the reproduced "Royal Enfield Bullet" motorcycle. This is one of the sentences, and I would like to know what a proper translation of "dækslerne" is in this context:

"men det eneste der umiddelbart adskilte de indisk-producerede motorcykler fra den originale britiske halvtredser-motorcykel var ellers navnet: Nu stod der Enfield på tanken og Indian Enfield på dækslerne."

If a Norwegian translation is not possible, an English translation would work.

Dekslene
Explanation:
Enda et eksempel på hvor like våre to språk er, Isabelle! Dekslene er her i flertall fordi det finnes flere deksler på hver side av en motorsykkelmotor.

Tool box is extremely far fetched, cover is the term for this. Example: air flter cover.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Det gir jo mening! Jeg tenkte noe lignende og. Det er oversettelse av et nettsted som originalt er på dansk. Tror noen har bomma på engelsk. Der ble visst ordet oversatt til "tool box". Det vil vel være ukorrekt i denne sammenhengen, eller?

agree  Leif Henriksen: "Tool box" er ikke nødvendigvis feil rent faktisk. Kanskje oversetteren har detaljert kunnskap om denne motorsykkelen. Når man ser bilde av den, ser man at det er nettopp på (dekslene til) verktøykassen og på tanken at merkenavn og logo er angitt.

agree  Per Bergvall: Det må nok være dekslene. Slett ikke utenkelig at ett av dekslene skjuler en tool box, forresten. Med litt fantasi kan ordet 'decals' ha vært i spill i den engelske teksten, men disse sitter uansett på dekslene.
