I finally got my seat cowl back from the sprayers this morning and they have done a perfect colour match it looks mint.

Really changes the appearance of the back end. I like the improvement.

Here's a few pics best I could manage in the Garage.

I got lucky and got mine secondhand off ebay for £25. I then paid £50 to have it professionally sprayed to colour match my bike in Suzuki YAY.

THe cowl's come from a bloke that sells them on ebay:

There are superbly finished and once painted are better than the OEM setup,

Bloody hell, you must have spent a small fortune by now!

It's a unique look, but not sure I would go for the cowl myself.

Yep spent more than that and some.

TBH the cowl looks mint, like it was designed for the pointy. It follows the lines and gives some extra underseat storage.

It looks really good if you make the effort to get it colour matched it is bang on.

I like it and I am keeping it.

Next is the full givi luggage lol!

Is this the same one as in the link below being sold on eBay? Quite like the look of it but was wondering if the quality was any good (mainly the actual fittings underneath they look plastic unlike the Suzuki cowl and rear seat)

Hiya. That is the exact same one I had on my pointy. Infact I still have it.

I paid £60 for the hump, and then paid £50 to have it sprayed black, the same colour as your bike.

Here it is on my pointy

The fittings are part of the mould but are very very strong. Mine felt a bit loose so I put some foam padding on that really help stop it moving.

I loved the look of it on my pointy.

Here's the fittings:

In fact just been upstairs to the bike cupbaord and I still have mine amazingly.

Here it is.

PM me if you want mine ready painted. You can have it for £40 delivered. It has a few miniscule little scuffs where my boot caught it getting on the bike. They are impossible to see unless 10 cms away from your eye ball lol.
