Default Ex Hornetier moving in - advice please

Thanks for the input to my previous thread about moving from a Hornet to an S, I've done the deed today and put down a deposit on a blue K6 S. I've gone for the fairing lowers but wondered about the Suzuki seat cowl, £66 I think. Am I better off going 'after market' or, for the few quid I'll save, is oem best for quality, colour match etc.

I'm sure I'll be back for more advice once the S is actually in my garage.

To say seat cowls are £42 is wrong.

They are NOW £66. Atleast for the K6.

Now they guy would be thinking the dealer is trying to rip him off

Cheers

Quite correct. For the K3 K4 K5 they still show as £42, however the new K6 ones show as £66.

K3 K4 http://www.suzuki-gb.co.uk/partdetail.asp?id=211&m=24

K6 http://www.suzuki-gb.co.uk/partdetai...id=100274&m=24

However the usual disclaimer applies, prices can change without notice etc. so they are what they cost you at the end of the day.

My 2p is that the suzuki seat cowl is a good looking piece of kit that matches the styling of the bike well, and is worth at least £66 of anyones money
