IMO that's the nicest seat cowl for the curvy. :cool:

I wish you were around 6 months ago. I bought a red one on ebay, colour matched for your bike, and sprayed it black.:rolleyes: A wee swap could have been in order.

Mmmmmmm Nice, Looks like a quality bit of kit you got there, a much better looking cowl than your likely to find on a pointy. Looks like youve been busy with the polishing cloth as well, paintwork's lookin really good, you'll really get noticed now. feelin a bit jealous now, so; if we meet please dont park next to mine lolo

I think I might prefer it being in black actually. My hugger is black as is that wee bit behind the cowl so doesn't look out of place at all. It's sitting a tad high so I'll be popping some tape round the metal clamp tomorrow to pull it lower.

My screen is red and black. It is ace!

I'm actually quite lucky as the bike was in excellent condition when I bought it. A bit of muck off at the weekends is all I really do. Not bad, especially as it's used for my 30 mile round trip commute every day as well as chucking it about on a Sunday.

I'll have it super clean for the WCAR on 03/10 though ;)

Damn you. I'll need to get the autosol out. The bike's been neglected lately.

I may even polish the forks up. The lacquer is looking rubbish so might give it a go.

Does anyone know where I cam get a nice tail tidy on the cheap? This is lovely but a bit steep:

Just ordered an exhaust hanger off of the eBay. Next stop - pillion peg removal!

This is my DIY effort from Zunkus' template. You can get a closer look at the West Coast Rideout. Total cost about 5 quid.

Not much harder than fitting one of fibreglass ones I suspect. Zunkus has done the difficult work for us by making the template.

Here's a close up. The dirt is optional.:)

Managed to get the tail tidy from Daz, the guy breaking his bike on here. He said it was just bolted to the existing undertray which had had the plastic cut back to the fairing. There's an undertray on evilbay that I might just go for though.
