Price of seat cowls.

[oldjack]

Just been checking Suzuki prices of seat cowls, curvy is £81, pointy is £42, why is this ?

If I fit a cowl will I be able to fit a lot more under my seat(cowl) ?

Is the cowl strong enough to take a top box ?

[kwak zzr]

the OE seat cowl's are strong, the pointy is £42 up to k6 but then the prices seem to rise for some reason? you may get a tad more room with one fitted but prob just enuf for a packet of fags.

There is a special top box pad that will allow you to replace your pillion seat with a topbox - made my Mr Suzuki too :)

I Brought A Seat Cowl When I Bought My Bike I Had To Pay An Extra £80 For It Though :( But She Had It Custom Made Its A Bit Special. She Paid £200 For It So... Really Tidys Up The A*s End When a Undertray Is Fitted Aswell

I Wouldn't Recomend Using With A Top Box £80 Is A lot Of Money If Its Just Going To Get Scratched

Anyone knows where i can find a seat cowl for £42? Is it painted for that price?
I need to find some webshop that are willing to send to Sweden.
Help, please :smt057

Search for Redcar motorcycles....just one of a few good places to source parts. Yes it is painted

I get more stuff under mine with the cowl than without, it bumps up a little while the seat doesn't. Not massively, mind, just a wee bit bigger.

The curvy one's a wee bit more complicated in construction, which is why it's more expensive. I reckon Suzuki didn't totally know what the market for the SV was going to be when they built the first one- so you get stuff like the really expensive frame (better for small runs, because of the way it's built, but rubbish for a high volume production), and other stuff like the addons being obviously addons, rather than having been designed along with the bike.

I bought mine from here

Painted and ready!
I think the postage was about 200 sek:- but i bought some other
bulky stuff at the same time.

Good and fast service:D

Thanks a lot TC3 and perra. I have mailed Redcar today and will sure check up Steve Jordan too.
I spoke to KGK, the official importer of Suzuki in Sweden today, and it seems like these seat cowls are not for sale here at all...

Do you think I could fit my waterproofs and my butties under the pointy cowl ? There are lots of sticky out bits in there at the moment in the way - the locking mechanism, the fuses, the tank prop (& my scottoiler) . I suppose I would have the extra room that the foam padding takes up, but the locking mechanism will still take up the big volume at the front won't it, can anybody go and have a look for me ?:thumleft:
