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

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?

Check out ebay as they always seem to have sv cowls for sale.
