Re: Seat Cowl - to be or not to be!
If you have an SRAD then maybe there is some point to one as you can probably fit a fridge or some spare tyres inside

Re: Seat Cowl - to be or not to be!
It does enable you to get more spares/tools/biscuits/animals under the seat and it does look prettier. I don't know what year your bike is or where the tool kit lives but on my K3 the tool kit fitted perfectly wedged inside the cowl rather than under the seat. I understand the newer pointies have the tool kit elsewhere so that'd just be silly to move it.
Having a cowl and no grab rail makes it just a little riskier when putting the bike on a paddock stand. |

Re: Seat Cowl - to be or not to be!
I just picked a mint one up for my bike for £25 posted on fleabay. Grabrail had to come off to make room for the topbox anyway (oh the shame).

Re: Seat Cowl - to be or not to be!
I honestly dont see why people have issues balancing an sv to get it onto a paddock stand?
