Seat cowls
 
they are a bit expensive for what they are

i thought about getting one but just seen the price of the powerbronze ones on M&P so sod that

I dunno, £41 for an official suzuki one isn't bad. Okay, it only cost them a couple of quid to make, but that's true of a lot of fairing. Compared to the cost of some seat cowl for other bikes I think it's pretty reasonable.

i meant to say Pyramid and on M and P it costs £109.99

Can you get 2000 model cowls from Suzuki?

Don't touch powerbronze, I saw them at the show & the colour match on their display YC2 bike was terrible! :?

The official one for a 2000 is £76 according to the website. The K3- is a bit cheaper at £42 :?

The classic SV cowls(Suzuki) cost almost double that. Another proof that the new K3 onwards were not as well built :wink:

Ah, true but mainly because of their superior build/craftmanship :)

Is it true that they are cheaper because they just use wedges of old cheese on the mark 2 bikes? :wink: Check out ebay as they always seem to have sv cowls for sale.

Sssssh, don't tell everyone, I'm bidding on one at the mo! :roll:
